Journal ArticleDOI

COVID-19 severity and mortality in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a joint study by ERIC, the European Research Initiative on CLL, and CLL Campus.

TL;DR: In CLL, COVID-19 severity increases with age; antileukemic treatment (particularly BTK inhibitors) appears to exert a protective effect; age and comorbidities did not impact on mortality, alluding to a relevant role of CLL and immunodeficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D modulation of innate immune responses to respiratory viral infections.

TL;DR: The in vitro data on the role of vitamin D in antiviral innate immunity, the data concerning the deficient levels ofitamin D in lung diseases, and the in vivo role of supplementation as protection against respiratory viral infections in healthy individuals and in patients with chronic respiratory diseases are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D increases the antiviral activity of bronchial epithelial cells in vitro

TL;DR: Despite lower vitamin D receptor levels in rhinovirus‐infected epithelial cells, exogenous vitamin D increased antiviral defences most likely via cathelicidin and innate interferon pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of IL-15 Deficiency in the Pathogenesis of Virus-Induced Asthma Exacerbations

TL;DR: IL-15 levels in BAL fluid were decreased in asthmatics and inversely related with airway hyperresponsiveness and with virus load during in vivo rhinovirus infection, suggesting deficient IL-15 production in asthma may be important in the pathogenesis of asthma exacerbations.
