Respiratory syncytial virus infections.
RS virus was isolated from 10 5% of the specimens examined in the MRC/PHLS hospital survey and from 0 9% of those in the general practice survey. The highest isolation rates were in infants with lower respiratory tract infections. Dyspnoea, wheezing and cough were the predominant clinical features. The differences in the rates between hospital and general practice and newer methods of diagnosis...
متن کاملNovel clinical features of recurrent human respiratory syncytial virus infections
Children and elderly individuals are often infected easily and repeatedly with human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV); however, the features of recurrent infection in the same individual are defined poorly. To clarify the clinical significance of repeated HRSV infections in relation to subgroup epidemiology, this study performed prospective and longitudinal analyses in children with lower res...
متن کاملCellular and humoral immunity in the pathogenesis of recurrent herpes viral infections in patients with lymphoma.
86 patients with lymphoma were evaluated prospectively for clinical and laboratory evidence of recurrent varicella-zoster, herpes simplex, and cytomegalovirus infections during the first 16 mo of treatment. Cellular immunity to the viral antigens was measured by in vitro lymphocyte transformation and interferon production. Antibody titers and nonspecific measures of cellular immunity, including...
متن کاملPrevention in respiratory syncytial virus infections.
Respiratory syncytial virus is the most important cause of viral lower respiratory illness in infants and children worldwide. By the age of 2 years, nearly every child has become infected with respiratory syncytial virus and re-infections are common throughout life. Most infections are mild and can be managed at home, but this virus causes serious diseases in preterm children, especially those ...
متن کاملRespiratory syncytial virus in lower respiratory tract infections.
Acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality amongst children in developing countries. We evaluated the extent of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in children with ALRI using a rapid and sensitive enzyme immunoassay for the antigen detection directly from the nasopharngeal aspirate. The immune response to the virus was determined by detecting...
