“…HRV can exacerbate a preexisting chronic lung condition as asthma bronchiale, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or cystic fibrosis. Transmission happens via aerosols, direct contact or fomites [ 69 , 70 , 71 ]. A study of Syed et al suspended rhinovirus type 14 in either tryptose phosphate broth (TPB), bovine mucin or human nasal discharge to inoculate stainless steel disks.…”

For the prevention of infectious diseases, knowledge about transmission routes is essential. In addition to respiratory, fecal–oral, and sexual transmission, the transfer of pathogens via surfaces plays a vital role for human pathogenic infections—especially nosocomial pathogens. Therefore, information about the survival of pathogens on surfaces can have direct implications on clinical measures, including hygiene guidelines and disinfection strategies. In this review, we reviewed the existing literature regarding viral, bacterial, and fungal persistence on inanimate surfaces. In particular, the current knowledge of the survival time and conditions of clinically relevant pathogens is summarized. While many pathogens persist only for hours, common nosocomial pathogens can survive for days to weeks under laboratory conditions and thereby potentially form a continuous source of transmission if no adequate inactivation procedures are performed.

“…The main pathogen was rhinovirus (RV), particularly subtypes A and C. Besides, respiratory syncytial virus and in uenza virus were also common in daily medical practices. Previous studies had shown that hospital admission rates for asthma exacerbations in school age children were correlated with the increase of RV infections in the spring and autumn [9]. During a u season, the prevalence of in uenza viruses was up to 20% in the wheezing infants [10].…”

BackgroundAsthma trigger plays an important role in children with asthma. To identify the asthma triggers accurately in China, we compared the asthma triggers in different age, gender and geographical location subgroups.MethodsThis cross-section study reviewed the data from February 22, 2017 to November 23, 2020. And the data were from smartphone-based Chinese Children's Asthma Action Plan. Self-reported asthma triggers were described as following: upper respiratory infection, allergen exposure, exercise, crying or laughing, pungent odors, air pollution/smog, climate change and tobacco smoke. Clustering participates into three subgroups according to the age, gender and geographical location. To subdivide the age into <6 years and 6-17 years. The Gender was consisted of boy and girl. And geographical location was divided from the east, central and west in China. In the three subgroups, we calculated the percentage of each asthma trigger. Chi-square test was applied for data comparison based on different factors. ResultsWe enrolled 6835 patients who had reported about the asthma triggers, and upper respiratory infections accounted for 77.8% was in the first place among eight asthma triggers. In gender subgroups, boy-girl difference was found only in asthma trigger of exercise (P<0.05). In the age subgroups, the ratio of upper respiratory infection trigger was higher in <6 years group. The allergen exposure, exercise, pungent odors, air pollution/smog and tobacco smoke triggers ratios were all higher in 6-17 years group (P<0.05). Among the geographical location subgroups, allergen exposure trigger ratio in east was highest of three regions. The ratio of exercise trigger in central region was highest. However, the ratio of air pollution/smog trigger in west region was lowest (P<0.05).ConclusionsIn conclusion, we overviewed the data from smartphone-based Chinese Children's Asthma Action Plan. Gender difference in the aspect of exercise trigger was found. We also found age and geographic differences in distribution of asthma triggers (allergen exposure trigger, exercise trigger, pungent odors trigger and air pollution/smog trigger). Through analyzing age, gender and geographic characteristics of asthma trigger, protective measures can be made for children with asthma in advance.

“…HRV is normally thought to cause relatively benign upper respiratory tract illnesses and is thus considered the most common cause of upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) ( Jacobs et al, 2013 ). However, HRVs have now been linked to asthma development, exacerbations of chronic pulmonary disease, severe bronchiolitis in infants, and fatal pneumonia in the elderly and immunocompromised ( Henquell et al, 2012 ; Kennedy et al, 2019 ; Mallia et al, 2011 ). Further evidence suggests that HRVs are associated with considerable economic burdens due to medical visits and absenteeism from work and/or school ( Fendrick et al, 2003 ; Nichol et al, 2005 ).…”

Exploring the potential of foodborne transmission of respiratory viruses

et al. 2021

The ongoing pandemic involving severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has raised the question whether this virus, which is known to be spread primarily though respiratory droplets, could be spread through the fecal-oral route or via contaminated food. In this article, we present a critical review of the literature exploring the potential foodborne transmission of several respiratory viruses including human coronaviruses, avian influenza virus (AVI), parainfluenza viruses, human respiratory syncytial virus, adenoviruses, rhinoviruses, and Nipah virus. Multiple lines of evidence, including documented expression of receptor proteins on gastrointestinal epithelial cells, in vivo viral replication in gastrointestinal epithelial cell lines, extended fecal shedding of respiratory viruses, and the ability to remain infectious in food environments for extended periods of time raises the theoretical ability of some human respiratory viruses, particularly human coronaviruses and AVI, to spread via food. However, to date, neither epidemiological data nor case reports of clear foodborne transmission of either viruses exist. Thus, foodborne transmission of human respiratory viruses remains only a theoretical possibility.
