Respiratory Viruses

open access: yesJournal of Asthma & Allergy Educators, 2011
The respiratory viruses as a group are the most common cause of an acute infectious illness in developed societies. The immunocompromised state of many cancer patients constitutes the basis for the frequent failure of the host to promote a normal and rapid recovery from an acute respiratory viral infection and results in a more severe and prolonged ...

Genetics, recombination and clinical features of human rhinovirus species C (HRV-C) infections; interactions of HRV-C with other respiratory viruses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
To estimate the frequency, molecular epidemiological and clinical associations of infection with the newly described species C variants of human rhinoviruses (HRV), 3243 diagnostic respiratory samples referred for diagnostic testing in Edinburgh were ...

A novel broad-spectrum treatment for respiratory virus infections : influenza-based defective interfering virus provides protection against pneumovirus infection in vivo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Respiratory viruses represent a major clinical burden. Few vaccines and antivirals are available, and the rapid appearance of resistant viruses is a cause for concern.

Aetiological role of viral and bacterial infections in acute adult lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in primary care [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Background: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) are a common reason for consulting general practitioners (GPs). In most cases the aetiology is unknown, yet most result in an antibiotic prescription.

Airborne transmission of respiratory viruses [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2021
Mechanisms of airborne transmission The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted controversies and unknowns about how respiratory pathogens spread between hosts. Traditionally, it was thought that respiratory pathogens spread between people through large droplets produced in coughs and through contact with contaminated surfaces (fomites)

Incidence and risk factors for respiratory syncytial virus and human metapneumovirus infections among children in the remote highlands of Peru [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The disease burden and risk factors for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human metapneumovirus (MPV) infections among children living in remote, rural areas remain unclear.; We conducted a prospective, household-based cohort study of children aged ...

Chicken interferon-inducible transmembrane protein 3 restricts influenza viruses and lyssaviruses in vitro. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Interferon-inducible transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) is an effector protein of the innate immune system. It confers potent, cell-intrinsic resistance to infection by diverse enveloped viruses both in vitro and in vivo, including influenza viruses, West ...

Community-Acquired Respiratory Viruses [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2018
The incidence of community-acquired respiratory viruses (CARVs) is ∼15 cases per 100 patient-years after lung transplantation (LTx). Paramyxoviruses account for almost 50% of the cases of CARV infection in LTx. Most patients will be symptomatic with a mean decline of 15 to 20% in forced expiratory volume in 1 second.
