Predictors for the prescription of albuterol in infants hospitalized for viral bronchiolitis

TL;DR: Age, implementation of a CPG on viral bronchiolitis, RSV isolation, and LOS were independent predictors of prescription of albuterol in a population of infants hospitalized for viral bronChiolitis.

The effect of carvacrol on respiratory syncytial virus infection in mice model: caution in the use of herbal medicines

TL;DR: Carvacrol at the concentration of 80 (mg/kg) did not show immunomodulatory activity to alleviate the RSV infection outcome and further research is needed to uncover the effects of the carVacrol intervention on virus replication and immune responses followingRSV infection.

Protective Intranasal Immunization Against Influenza Virus in Infant Mice Is Dependent on IL-6.

TL;DR: It is suggested that IL-6 may be helpful in the generation of protective immune responses in infants after intramuscular immunization does not protect against lethal challenge and intranasal administration of heat inactivated virus is protective.

Respiratory syncytial virus

TL;DR: RSV vaccination during pregnancy is a feasible strategy to achieve this goal and vaccines for maternal immunization against RSV are in active development and could be implemented in the near future within existing maternal-child health platforms.

TL;DR: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010 aimed to estimate annual deaths for the world and 21 regions between 1980 and 2010 for 235 causes, with uncertainty intervals (UIs), separately by age and sex, using the Cause of Death Ensemble model.

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.

Global and regional burden of hospital admissions for severe acute lower respiratory infections in young children in 2010: a systematic analysis

Harish Nair, +38 more
- 20 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: The data suggest that although 62% of children with severe ALRI are treated in hospitals, 81% of deaths happen outside hospitals, which suggests community-based management of severe disease could be an important complementary strategy to reduce pneumonia mortality and health inequities.
