High pneumococcal density correlates with more mucosal inflammation and reduced respiratory syncytial virus disease severity in infants.

BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an important cause of lower respiratory tract infections in infants. A small percentage of the infected infants develops a severe infection, while most of these severely ill patients were previously healthy. It remains unclear why these children develop severe RSV infections. In this study, we investigate whether pneumococcal nasopharyngeal carria...
