Respiratory Viruses in Pediatric Necropsies: An Immunohistochemical Study

Abstract: Infections of the respiratory system are responsible for the majority of hospitalizations and deaths in pediatric patients in developing countries. We selected 177 necropsies of pediatric patients who died as a result of serious respiratory infections. The histopathological findings and epidemiological data were reviewed, and lung tissue samples were separated for immunohistochemistry testing. Conventional immunohistochemistry techniques were used to detect viral antigens in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (… Show more

“…Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) are a leading indication for hospitalization (2-3 %) in young children. Approximately 90 % of LRTI in children are viral, in contrast to adults, in whom approximately 12 % of community-acquired LRTIs have a viral etiology (Hammond et al 2007 ;Chong et al 2009 ;Welliver 2003 ).…”

“…The most common pathologic viruses in infancy include respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), parainfl uenza virus (PIV), adenovirus (AdV), infl uenza virus (InfV), human metapneumovirus (hMPV), and less so coronavirus (CoV), rhinovirus (RhV), and bocavirus (BoV) (Tregoning and Schwarze 2010 ;Hammond et al 2007 ;Chong et al 2009 ). RSV remains the most prevalent and most severe of the neonatal LRTI's (Coffi n 2005 ; Hammond et al 2007 ;Chong et al 2009 ;Chang et al 2009 ;Fitzgerald 2011 ).…”
