Abstract

In this review, the anatomical, physiological, immunological, societal, and behavioral differences that influence infections for men and women will be reviewed followed by a discussion of differences in vaccine responses and the nature of infections of different organ systems. This is the third in a series of reviews that examine differences in infectious disease presentation for different demographics. Previously, infectious disease differences were compared for children and for older adults. This and the previous reviews are highly appropriate for sharing with, and educating colleagues, residents and students.
