Respiratory viral infectionChildrenCongenital heart diseaseMortalityMorbidityBackground: Acute viral respiratory infections (VRI) are the most common diseases in humans and are associated with high morbidity and mortality in infants and the elderly. Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are more ...
increased hospital stay, longer mechanical ventilation, and higher mortality. This study aimed to identifythe frequency of VRI in children with CHD undergoing cardiac surgery, and to compare the major outcomesaccording to the presence or absence of a VRI.Methods: This was a longitudinal, observatio...
This discussion surveys the virus groups that contain nearly 200 distinct viruses that cause sporadic and epidemic respiratory infections in children. The epidemiology of infection with the influenza A and B, parainfluenza, and respiratory syncytial viruses and adenoviruses and their impact on infants ...
Viral acute respiratory infections represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality across all ages, especially in patients with chronic underlying conditions. Although recognized anecdotally, the risks of viral infection to those children with chronic underlying conditions rendering them technology dep...
In the period from May 1985 to June 1988 the authors (using the immunofluorescence method) examined 848 children aged 0-2 years hospitalized due to infections of respiratory tracts in the II Clinic of Pediatrics of the Pediatrics Department of the II Medical Faculty in the Medical Academy in Wa...
It is uncertain whether clinical severity of an infection varies by pathogen or by multiple infections. Using hospital-based surveillance in children, we investigate the range of clinical severity for patients singly, multiply, and not infected with a gr
respiratory tract infection often occur together. This study was designed to determine the frequency of viral coinfection when children are diagnosed with community-acquired alveolar pneumonia (CAAP, presumably a bacterial process). The participants were enrolled from 2001 to 2005 in Israel, before the...
Many viruses can cause lower respiratory infection (LRI). To determine if chest radiographs could be useful adjuncts to clinical and viral diagnoses, we reviewed initial x-rays of 99 previously healthy children(0 to 14 yrs)from whom respiratory viruses were isolated from nasal washing. The causati...
摘要: PurposeIn this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of year-round respiratory viral infection in children with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) and the relationship between respiratory viral infection and allergen sensitization in exacerbating asthma....
Nonspecific mucosal immune responses in infants and children during acute phase of RS virus infection were analyzed. The first step of host defence mechanisms and immune responses during viral infection has been thought to be functional and organic reactions in virus-infected host cells, that is, in...
