Influenza (and this one may be of general interest so I'll copy the

> Crit Care Med. 2009 Nov 23. [Epub ahead of print]
> Influenza pathogenesis: Lessons earned from animal studies with
> H5N1, H1N1 Spanish, and pandemic H1N1 2009 influenza.

> Because cases of highly pathogenic influenza are rare, no systematic
> clinical studies have evaluated different therapeutic approaches.
> Instead, treatment recommendations are aimed at the alleviation of
> clinical signs and symptoms, especially the restoration of
> respiratory function, and at the inhibition of virus replication,
> assuming viral load is responsible for disease phenotype. Studies of
> highly pathogenic influenza in different animal models, especially
> nonhuman primates and ferrets, reproduce many of the key
> observations from clinical cases. Host-response kinetics reveal a
> delayed but broad activation of genes involved in the innate and
> acquired immune responses (innate responses produce inflammatory
> responses), which continue after the virus has been cleared and may
> contribute importantly to the clinical signs observed.Experimental
> animal models point to an important role for immune dysregulation in
> the pathogenesis of highly pathogenic influenza. The use of these
> models to develop and validate therapeutic approaches is just
> beginning, but published studies reveal the importance of early
> treatment with antivirals and show the potential and limitations of
> approaches aimed at the host response.
