Respiratory illness associated with influenza and respiratory syncytial virus infection.
AIMS To estimate excess morbidity during periods of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) activity. METHODS Retrospective analysis of a sentinel practice network database in active and non-active virus periods. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES clinical diagnoses of new episodes of influenza-like illness (ILI), acute bronchitis, asthma, and otitis media. RESULTS The clinical diagnosis of IL...
متن کاملHuman Metapneumovirus and Severity of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease
We screened 23 children with severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease and 23 children with mild RSV disease for human metapneumovirus (HMPV). Although HMPV was circulating in Connecticut, none of the 46 RSV-infected patients tested positive for HMPV. In our study population, HMPV did not contribute to the severity of RSV disease.
متن کاملSeverity of respiratory syncytial virus infections and immunoglobulin concentrations.
In a prospective study in 86 children with respiratory syncytial virus infections, no relation was detected between the severity of infection (based on diagnosis, chest radiography findings, need for mechanical ventilation, and duration of hospitalisation) and serum concentrations of IgG, IgA, IgM, and IgG1-4 on admission.
متن کاملHuman genetic factors and respiratory syncytial virus disease severity.
SUMMARY To explain the wide spectrum of disease severity caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and because of the limitations of animal models to fully parallel human RSV disease, study of genetic influences on human RSV disease severity has begun. Candidate gene approaches have demonstrated associations of severe RSV in healthy infants with genetic polymorphisms that may alter the innate...
متن کاملRelationship between clinical severity of respiratory syncytial virus infection and subtype.
The relationship between clinical severity of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and distribution of subtype A or B was investigated. The data of 232 children, who were admitted with RSV infection or diagnosed in the outpatient department of the Sophia Children's Hospital, Rotterdam between 1992 and 1995, were studied. The diagnosis of RSV was confirmed by a direct immunofluorescence a...
