Pulmonary Deposition of Radionucleotide-Labeled Palivizumab: Proof-of-Concept Study
ObjectiveCurrent prevention and/or treatment options for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections are limited as no vaccine is available. Prophylaxis with palivizumab is very expensive and requires multiple intramuscular injections over the RSV ...

Population Pharmacokinetics of Clesrovimab in Preterm and Full‐Term Infants
Clesrovimab is a half‐life extended monoclonal antibody targeting the respiratory syncytial virus fusion protein. Three studies (phase Ib/IIa [MK‐1654‐002], phase IIb/III [CLEVER], and phase III [SMART]) were conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of clesrovimab in infants.

This study is to assess the predictive value of the modified lung ultrasound score (mLUS) for late respiratory diseases in premature infants born before 32 weeks of gestation. It is recommended that the use of mLUS scoring be promoted in clinical practice for the early screening of high‐risk preterm infants.

ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that causes respiratory infections, posing a serious threat, particularly to infants, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. As the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants, RSV is responsible for millions of cases worldwide each year.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection may induce asthma and allergic sensitisation. RSV immunoprophylaxis can reduce the severity of RSV infections. However, the effects of RSV immunoprophylaxis on allergic sensitisation remains unclear.

ABSTRACT Introduction Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in young children. Additionally, RSV is associated with long‐term respiratory morbidities. This study evaluates acute and long‐term healthcare utilization (HCU) in infants hospitalized with RSV‐associated LRTI (RSV‐LRTI) compared to ...

ABSTRACT Background Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) causes significant respiratory infections, particularly in young children and elderly adults. Genetic variations in the fusion (F) protein can reduce the efficacy of vaccination and monoclonal antibody treatments, emphasizing the need for genomic surveillance of this virus.

Abstract Background Understanding infectious disease seasonality is crucial to inform immunization timing and risk communications. This study aimed to describe trends in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) seasonality in Japan by determining thresholds across 47 prefectures using public health surveillance data. Methods Weekly RSV cases per sentinel (CPS)
