Viral infections affect the elderly more frequently than the younger population. Moreover, elderly individuals also have lower mean body temperatures. Taking cues from these clinical observations, a team of researchers from The University of Tokyo undertook a study to find the missing link between body temperature and infection resistance. Findings indicate that increased body temperature suppresses virus replication and excessive inflammatory responses.
