PURPOSE: The influence of sex hormones is recognized to account for the susceptibility and distinct outcomes of diverse infectious diseases. METHODS: This review discusses several variables including differences in behavior and exposure to pathogens, genetic, and immunological factors. CONCLUSION: Understanding sex-based differences in immunity during different infectious diseases is crucial in order to provide optimal disease management for both sexes.
