Human Rhinovirus Species and Season of Infection Determine Illness Severity

Abstract: Rationale: Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) consist of approximately 160 types that cause a wide range of clinical outcomes, including asymptomatic infections, common colds, and severe lower respiratory illnesses. Objectives: To identify factors that influence the severity of HRV illnesses. Methods: HRV species and types were determined in 1,445 nasal lavages that were prospectively collected from 209 infants participating in a birth cohort who had at least one HRV infection. Questionnaires were used during each illn… Show more

“…Despite the low number of HRV strains studied, these results are in line with those published in studies from other areas (Europe, North America, and east Asia), and all show similar HRV distributions. [30][31][32][33][34][35] Overall, different genotypes of RV appear to circulate simultaneously within a given period and geographic area with predominance of types A and C. 22,36,37 Among HEVs characterized herein, CBV (B1, B2, B3, B4, and B5) were predominant (45/53). The temporal distribution of these strains suggests a predominant circulating strain of CBV that can change from one year to another.…”

“…Higher incidence for HRV infection has been described from September to November and from April to May, but in some years (and in some geographical areas) spring was reported to be the more important time for HRV transmission [78]. Several reports suggest that there is a seasonal variability in severity with peaks during cold seasons, probably related to the seasonal distribution of specific strains [75][76][77][78][79]. LEE et al [79] showed that HRVs in infants were more likely to cause moderate to severe illness in the winter months compared with summer, with a peak seasonal prevalence in spring and autumn.…”

LEE et al [79] showed that HRVs in infants were more likely to cause moderate to severe illness in the winter months compared with summer, with a peak seasonal prevalence in spring and autumn. In that study, HRV-A and HRV-C were more likely to cause moderate to severe illness compared with HRV-B.…”
