The peak incidence was in November, December and June. The most common symptoms were cough (58%), fever (56%), dyspnea 40% and running nose (25%). Crepitation and wheezes, were present in 23.9%, 20.8%, respectively. Twenty-two of 48 patients (46%) had chest radiographic abnormalities...
Proportions of children who only had rhinovirus peaked in preschool and then fell. Additionally, the researchers noted that 75% of the children in the rhinovirus group also had BAL granulocytosis. Other common pathogens included adenovirus (1.7%) and human metapneumovirus (1.7%...
Eight families with a rhinovirus-positive index child and 16 families with a rhinovirus-negative index child were monitored for 3 weeks for disease symptoms, and the presence and quantity of rhinoviruses in nasal swab samples were determined by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain ...
RV infection was also associated with more severe disease course during the 12﹎onth follow 嚥terms of more nights with awakenings and more days of exercise‐related symptoms (both P < .05). Conclusions Vitamin D supplementation may have an anti‐rhinovirus effect. Both shortand medium‐term ...
When a patient presents with severe cold-like or flu-like symptoms, it is impossible to know what’s causing the illness without diagnostic testing. That’s because many respiratory pathogens cause similar, overlapping symptoms. A child with severe respiratory symptoms, for example, could have huma...
While the majority of replication was initially felt to be limited to the upper airway, a growing body of evidence suggests that HRVs can and frequently may replicate in the lower airways. This is likely to be more common among individuals with lower airway signs and symptoms and may contribut...
In children, rhinovirus viremia has been associated with higher nasopharyngeal loads and increase in severity of clinical signs and symptoms. Objectives This study aims to detect rhinovirus viremia in adult patients and to establish potential correlations with the clinical course. Study design Adult pa...
We report the case of a 3.6-year-old male child who developed progressive hyposthenia of the left lower limb. Symptoms were preceded by rhinitis, malaise, and fever. Brain and spinal magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse signal abnormalities compatible with a subacute myeloencephalitis. A ...
omalizumab had fewer respiratory symptoms and improved lung function early in the course of infection (first 4 days) compared with those patients who received placebo. Mepolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to IL-5, thus, inhibiting the production and migration of eosinophils. The...
