RESPIRATORY INFECTION Seasonality of long term wheezing following respiratory syncytial virus lower respiratory tract infection
Background: It is well known that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is associated with subsequent wheezing episodes, but the precise natural course of wheezing following RSV LRTI is not known. This study aimed to determine the continuous development of wheezing following RSV LRTI in children up to the age of 3 years. Methods: A prospective cohort study w...
متن کاملdetection of respiratory syncytial virus in hospitalized children with acute lower respiratory tract infections, using rt pcr in ahvaz, iran
conclusions: this study indicates that rsv is a substantial cause of respiratory tract infection in infants less than 2 years old. rt-pcr offers a rapid method for detection of rsv in hospitalized children with lrti. results: during the study period, 9 children had a positive result for rsv infection. the median age of these patients was 10 months. bronchiolitis was the clinical diagnosis of pa...
متن کاملApplicability of a real-time quantitative PCR assay for diagnosis of respiratory syncytial virus infection in immunocompromised adults.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) accounts for the majority of respiratory virus infections, producing high mortality rates in immunocompromised patients with hematologic malignancies. The available methods for the rapid detection of RSV by antigen detection or PCR either lack sensitivity, require complex laboratory manipulation, or have not been evaluated in this patient population. To assess ...
متن کاملSeverity of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Lower Respiratory Tract Infection With Viral Coinfection in HIV-Uninfected Children.
Background Molecular diagnostics enable sensitive detection of respiratory viruses, but their clinical significance remains unclear in pediatric lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). We aimed to determine whether viral coinfections increased life-threatening disease in a large cohort. Methods Molecular testing was performed for respiratory viruses in nasopharyngeal aspirates collected fro...
متن کاملRespiratory syncytial virus infection in adults.
Originally considered as only a paediatric pathogen, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has recently been shown to be a significant cause of respiratory illness among elderly and high-risk adults. Approximately 170,000 hospitalizations and 10,000 deaths associated with RSV occur annually in people over the age of 65 years in the United States. Although rhinorrhoea and wheezing are common symptom...
