Molecular epidemiology of outbreak of respiratory syncytial virus within bone marrow transplantation unit.
نویسندگان
چکیده
During the winter of 1995-1996, eight of nine bone marrow transplantation (BMT) unit patients were infected with the same strain of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). This RSV strain was not detected in 20 hospitalized patients from the community, suggesting that the BMT unit infections did not occur by independent incidents of transmission from the community.

Molecular epidemiology of two consecutive outbreaks of parainfluenza 3 in a bone marrow transplant unit.
Two consecutive nosocomial outbreaks of parainfluenza 3, in which 5 of 15 infected patients died, occurred in an adult bone marrow transplant unit. Parainfluenza 3 strain variation was assessed by reverse transcription-PCR sequencing of part of the parainfluenza 3 F gene, including the noncoding region, directly from clinical samples. Sequence data from the outbreaks were compared with those fr...

متن کاملRNA fingerprinting of respiratory syncytial virus using ribonuclease protection. Application to molecular epidemiology.
We have used the technique of ribonuclease protection to define genomic variation among circulating isolates of subgroup A respiratory syncytial (RS) virus. RNAs extracted from HEp-2 cells infected with strains to be analyzed were hybridized with a 32P-labeled RNA probe corresponding to the RS virus G glycoprotein (A2 strain). Areas of nonhomology were detected by cleavage with ribonuclease A. ...

Pneumoviruses are responsible for significant respiratory disease in their hosts and represent a major problemfor human and animal health. Pneumoviruses are members of the family Paramyxoviridae, subfamilyPneumovirinae and the virus particles consist of a negative-sense, nonsegmented RNA genome within a helical nucleocapsid structure enveloped in a lipid membrane derived from the ho...
