“…This virus can infect children despite the presence of maternal antibodies; natural infection offers only partial protection [21]. RSV type B was found to be the most common in our study; some publications have shown that group A was associated with more severe forms of bronchiolitis, which is not the case here.…”

“…Very young infants are more vulnerable to RSV infection; the fragility of their respiratory systems, combined with lower defenses at this age, lead to more severe bronchiolitis requiring hospitalization [1], [21]. The majority of positive RSV cases are concentrated in the period from late January to late March, which corresponds to the coldest months in our region.…”

Acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTI) such as pneumonia and bronchiolitis are major causes of mortality and morbidity in children under 5 years of age. The main microbial agents responsible for ALRTI are either bacterial agents ( Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b, Mycoplasma pneumoniae ) or viruses (respiratory syncytial virus (RSV, also known as human orthopneumovirus), Myxovirus influenzae, Myxovirus parainfluenzae, adenovirus) [1]. More recently, other viruses (rhinovirus, metapneumovirus, coronavirus, bocavirus) have been implicated in ALRTI; their identification has been facilitated by new molecular biology techniques such as real-time PCR. To our knowledge, these emerging viruses have never been the subject of epidemiologic studies in our country.

“…Other studies have used different methods of viral detection as real-time PCR which resulted in higher rates of RSV detection up to 44-49% [12,13]. The different inclusion criteria in the different series contributed to the different rates of RSV detection as in our study we included only patients less than 5 years old who presented with ALRTI while other studies have included wider range of clinical diagnosis such as upper respiratory tract infection and even isolated fever resulting in higher rate of viral detection [14]. Others who focused on patients presenting with bronchiolitis or asthmatic bronchiolitis reported even higher rates of RSV detection reaching up to 56-72% (8&15).…”

Background and aimRespiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the most important causes of acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTI) in infants and young children. This study was conducted to describe the epidemiology of ALRTI associated with RSV among children ≤ 5 years old in Egypt.Patients and MethodsWe enrolled 427 children ≤ 5 years old diagnosed with ALRTI attending the outpatient clinic or Emergency Department (ED) of Children Hospital, Cairo University during a one- year period. Nasopharyngeal aspirates were obtained from the patients, kept on ice and processed within 2 hours of collection. Immunoflourescent assay (IFA) for RSV was performed.Results91 cases (21.3%) had viral etiology with RSV antigens detected in 70 cases (16.4%). The RSV positive cases were significantly younger than other non-RSV cases (mean age 8.2 months versus 14.2 months, p <0.001). RSV cases had significantly higher respiratory rate in the age group between 2-11 months (mean 58.4 versus 52.7/minute, p < 0.001) and no significant difference in the mean respiratory rate in the age group between 12-59 months. More RSV cases required supplemental oxygen (46% versus 23.5%, p < 0.001) with higher rate of hospitalization (37.1% versus 11.2%, p < 0.001) than the non-RSV cases. 97% of RSV cases occurred in winter season (p < 0.001).ConclusionRSV is the most common viral etiology of ALRTI in children below 5 years of age, especially in young infants below 6 months of age. It is more prevalent in winter and tends to cause severe infection.

Since viruses are the main cause of asthma, especially in children under 5 years old, and they are also involved in the etiology of bronchiolitis, we decided to survey the prevalence of three main viruses; respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human rhinovirus (HRV), and human metapneumovirus (hMPV), in children with acute wheezing in our hospital. We hope that this study will provide a baseline for future studies about the clinical importance of particular viral prevalence. Background: Viruses are known to cause the majority of acute respiratory infections. A great deal of evidence indicates that the etiology of most cases of wheezing in children, like asthma or bronchiolitis, is also linked to such respiratory infections. Objectives: We assessed the prevalence of three common viruses including; respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human rhinovirus (HRV), and human metapneumovirus (hMPV), in children with acute wheezing. Patients and Methods: Ninety six wheezy children, 48 males (50%) and 48 females (50%) under the age of 5 years, were enrolled in the study. All patients visited as outpatients or inpatients when referred to the Mofid Children's Hospital, in Tehran, from September 2009 to March 2010. A nasopharyngeal sample was taken from each child's nostril and the three viruses were detected by a molecular polymerase chain reaction method (PCR). Results: Out of 96 patients, 63 cases (64.8%) had a positive PCR test for at least one virus. Prevalence of each virus including RSV, HRV and hMPV alone or in combination were 44 (45.8%), 13 (13.5%) and 6 (6.3%), respectively. There were no significant relationships between; age, prematurity, fever, respiratory distress and the existence of any kind of virus in the nasopharynx. Conclusions: Our study revealed that the prevalence of these three viruses in the nasopharyngeal secretions of children suffering from acute wheezing was similar to other studies. The results of this study concluded; PCR assay is a widely available and rapid method to detect the viral etiology which induces wheezing in children in Iran, and the study also provides a baseline for future studies about the clinical importance of this relationship.
