Guillain-Barré Syndrome in Late Pregnancy Following Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection: A Diagnostic Dilemma. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The diagnosis of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) relies on evolving clinical features, supported by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), laboratory investigations, and electrodiagnostic studies. Early investigations may be nondiagnostic and should not delay treatment when progressive neurological deterioration raises clinical suspicion of GBS.

Identification of group B respiratory syncytial viruses that lack the 60-nucleotide duplication after six consecutive epidemics of total BA dominance at coastal Kenya [PDF]
Respiratory syncytial virus BA genotype has reportedly replaced other group B genotypes worldwide. We report the observation of three group B viruses, all identical in G sequence but lacking the BA duplication, at a coastal district hospital in Kenya in ...

In vivo evidence for quasispecies distributions in the bovine respiratory syncytial virus genome [PDF]
We analyzed the genetic evolution of bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) isolate W2-00131, from its isolation in bovine turbinate (BT) cells to its inoculation in calves.
