Ting Shi, +138 more
- 02 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimated the incidence and hospital admission rate of RSV-associated acute lower respiratory infection (RSV-ALRI) in children younger than 5 years stratified by age and World Bank income regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effectiveness of neuraminidase inhibitors in reducing mortality in patients admitted to hospital with influenza A H1N1pdm09 virus infection: a meta-analysis of individual participant data.

Stella G. Muthuri, +87 more
TL;DR: There was an increase in the mortality hazard rate with each day's delay in initiation of treatment up to day 5 as compared with treatment initiated within 2 days of symptom onset, and early treatment versus no treatment was also associated with a reduction in mortality risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global burden of respiratory infections associated with seasonal influenza in children under 5 years in 2018: a systematic review and modelling study.

Xin Wang, +51 more
TL;DR: The findings provide new and important evidence for maternal and paediatric influenza immunisation, and should inform future immunisation policy particularly in low-income and lower-middle-income countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prediction of severe disseminated adenovirus infection by serum PCR

TL;DR: This pilot study investigated the value of adenovirus DNA detection in serum as a marker of disseminated disease in 14 patients with defined patterns of adanovirus infections and showed that the appearance ofadenoviral DNA in serum preceded the development of a severe or fatal adenvirus infection.
