Estimates of the global, regional, and national morbidity, mortality, and aetiologies of lower respiratory infections in 195 countries, 1990-2016: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016

Christopher Troeger, +151 more
TL;DR: The findings show substantial progress in the reduction of lower respiratory infection burden, but this progress has not been equal across locations, has been driven by decreases in several primary risk factors, and might require more effort among elderly adults.

mRNA vaccines for infectious diseases: principles, delivery and clinical translation.

TL;DR: In 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic catalysed the most rapid vaccine development in history, with mRNA vaccines at the forefront of those efforts as mentioned in this paper, and although it is now clear that mRNA vaccines can rapidly and safely protect patients from infectious disease, additional research is required to optimize mRNA design, intracellular delivery and applications beyond SARS-CoV-2 prophylaxis.

The respiratory syncytial virus vaccine landscape: lessons from the graveyard and promising candidates.

TL;DR: This Review provides a comprehensive overview of RSV vaccine candidates and mAbs in clinical development to prevent one of the most common and severe infectious diseases in young children and older adults worldwide.

Aetiological role of common respiratory viruses in acute lower respiratory infections in children under five years: A systematic review and meta–analysis

TL;DR: A systematic literature review of case–control studies published from 1990 to 2014 supports RSV, IFV, PIV, MPV and RV as important causes of ALRI in young children, and provides quantitative estimates of the absolute proportion of virus–associated ALRI cases to which a viral cause can be attributed.

The prevalence of hypoxaemia among ill children in developing countries: a systematic review

TL;DR: There is a need for increased awareness of the burden of hypoxaemia in childhood illness, mainly due to the low accuracy of clinical predictors and the limited availability of pulse oximetry for more accurate detection and oxygen for treatment.

WHO consultation on Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine Development Report from a World Health Organization Meeting held on 23-24 March 2015.

TL;DR: The World Health Organization convened the first RSV vaccine consultation in 15 years on the 23rd and 24th of March, 2015 in Geneva, Switzerland to provide guidance on clinical endpoints and development pathways for vaccine trials with a focus on considerations of low- and middle-income countries.

Association between Respiratory Syncytial Virus Activity and Pneumococcal Disease in Infants: A Time Series Analysis of US Hospitalization Data

TL;DR: Daniel Weinberger and colleagues examine a possible interaction between two serious respiratory infections in children under 2 years of age and find no link between these infections and serious illness.

Respiratory syncytial virus infection and disease in infants and young children observed from birth in Kilifi district Kenya.

TL;DR: RSV accounts for a substantial proportion of the total respiratory disease in this rural population in Kenya and the majority of this morbidity occurs during late infancy and early childhood--ages at which the risk of disease following infection remains significant.
