Down's syndrome is a risk factor for severe lower respiratory tract infection due to respiratory syncytial virus
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2016)
©2016 Foundation Acta Pædiatrica. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd Aim: Previous studies have suggested that Down's syndrome is an independent risk factor for severe respiratory infection due to respiratory syncytial ...
Intravenous palivizumab in respiratory syncytial virus infection after hematopoietic stem cell transplant in children
(Wiley, 2017)
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection can cause lower respiratory tract disease and mortality in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. We report two children who underwent HSCT and developed ...
Impaired immune response in severe human lower tract respiratory infection by respiratory syncytial virus
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2009)
Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of acute lower respiratory infection in infants. The immune response plays a leading role in the severity of the disease. We hypothesized that severe RSV disease ...
Adenovirus and respiratory syncytial virus-adenovirus mixed acute lower respiratory infections in Chilean infants
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2004-04)
Background. In Chile respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and adenovirus (AD) are the principal viruses detected in acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) in infants. An overview of AD pneumonia in Chile to detect annual ...
Breastfeeding reduces immune activation in primary respiratory syncytial virus infection
(2005)
In epidemiological studies of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease, breast milk has proven to be beneficial. However, a host mechanism that is associated with both disease severity and that is capable of being modulated ...
Severe human lower respiratory tract illness caused by respiratory syncytial virus and influenza virus is characterized by the absence of pulmonary cytotoxic lymphocyte responses
(2007)
Background. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza virus are common causes of infantile lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI). It is widely believed that both viral replication and inappropriately enhanced ...
Desired immune response characteristics in an RSV vaccine: What infants tell us
(Elsevier, 2009)
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) represents an important target for vaccine development. The design of an
effective vaccine for infants is hindered by a lack of knowledge of the nature of the protective immune response ...
