“…[19][20][21] We did not examine the etiologic agents in our study and a majority of episodes might be due to RSV since a Bangladeshi study reported that RSV was the commonest virus detected from children <2 yr of age hospitalized due to severe lower respiratory tract infections and diarrhea. 22 Studies have reported that RSV and asthma are linked to imbalance of Th1/Th2 type immunity induced by the virus, [23][24][25] although the cause and effect relationship of RSV to atopic predisposition is conflicting. [19][20][21]26 Despite controversy about the relationship between RSV and atopy, the association itself is important from clinical and public health point of view, because under-diagnosis and under-treatment exacerbates asthma.…”

“…RSV is the leading cause of viral ARI in many developing countries [27][28][29][30][31], but lack of access to RSV diagnostic reagents and hospital facilities has made it difficult to quantify the effect of RSV in these countries. In contrast, children living in isolated bush villages in the YK Delta have access to primary and tertiary care facilities within the US health care system, so RSV infection can be readily diagnosed and hospitalization rates and disease severity can be determined.…”

Severe Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease in Alaska Native Children

et al. 1999

Hospitalization rates for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection range from 1 to 20/1000 infants. To determine the rate and severity of RSV infections requiring hospitalization for infants in the Yukon-Kuskokwim (YK) Delta of Alaska, a 3-year prospective surveillance study was conducted. The annual rate of RSV hospitalization for YK Delta infants <1 year of age was 53-249/1000. RSV infection was the most frequent cause of infant hospitalization. RSV disease severity did not differ among non-high-risk infants in the YK Delta and at Johns Hopkins Hospital (JHH). On average, 1/125 infants born in the YK Delta required mechanical ventilation for RSV infection. During the peak season, approximately $1034/child <3 years of age was spent on RSV hospitalization in the YK Delta. In YK Delta infants

“…The BOSTID studies in the early 1980s conducted in developing countries established that viruses were important causes of pneumonia. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27] However, considerable changes in socioeconomic standards as well as nutritional status have occurred since then. Recognizing that the burden of RSV disease had not been carefully estimated in developing countries since then, the World Health Organization (WHO) sponsored studies in several developing countries following a standard WHO protocol.…”
