Background. The objective of this study was to elucidate the relation between respiratory
syncytial virus (RSV) infection and cytokine/chemokine concentrations, as well as the impact …

The relationship between viral load, disease severity and antiviral immune activation in
infants suffering from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated bronchiolitis has not been …

Background. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of lower
respiratory tract disease in infants. The role of inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of …

In infants with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis, we investigated whether
disease severity is associated with the genotype of the infecting virus, or with the infant's …

Acute bronchiolitis (AB) is caused primarily by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Recent
laboratory tools have implicated a variety of other pathogens; however, their clinical …

We examined the in vivo immune response of infants to natural respiratory syncytial virus
(RSV) infection through analysis of cytokine levels in nasal lavage fluid and stimulated …

This study measured chemokines in nasal lavage fluids (NLF) from infants with respiratory
syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis, defined by lung hyperinflation and wheezing …

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of acute lower respiratory
infection in infants. The immune response plays a leading role in the severity of the disease …

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza virus are common causes of infantile lower
respiratory tract infection (LRTI). It is widely believed that both viral replication and …

Background: Virus-induced inflammation contributes to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
pathogenesis. We sought to determine the specific mediators that are associated with more …
