Similarities and differences between HIV and SARS-CoV-2. Int J Med Sci. 2021 Jan 1;18(3):846-851http://hdl.handle.net/10668/16965In the last 50 years we have experienced two big pandemics, the HIV pandemic and the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. Both pandemics are caused by RNA viruses and have reached us from animals. These two viruses are different in the transmission mode and in the symptoms they generate. However, they have important similarities: the fear in the population, increase in proinflammatory cytokines that generate intestinal microbiota modifications or NETosis production by polymorphonuclear neutrophils, among others. They have been implicated in the clinical, prognostic and therapeutic attitudes.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/AIDSCOVID-19HIVSARS-CoV-2PandemicsCOVID-19CytokinesExtracellular trapsFearGlobal burden of diseaseHIV infectionsHIV-1History, 20th centuryHistory, 21st centuryHost-pathogen interactionsHumansInflammation mediatorsMortalityNeutrophilsPrognosisSARS-CoV-2research article33437221open accessCarga global de enfermedadesCitocinasInfecciones por VIHInteracciones huésped-patógenoMediadores de inflamaciónMiedoNeutrófilosPandemias10.7150/ijms.501331449-1907PMC7797543https://www.medsci.org/v18p0846.pdfhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7797543/pdf
