“…23 24 Subsequently, low-grade fever, wheezing, crepitations on auscultation and signs of increased respiratory effort develop, such as nasal flaring, chest wall retraction and tachypnoea. 23 In very young infants under 6 weeks of age, apnoea associated with RSV infection is an important indication for hospital admission. 25 In most children, however, reduced oral intake and hydration status are the main indications for admission.…”

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common single cause of respiratory hospitalisation of infants and is the second largest cause of lower respiratory infection mortality worldwide. In adults, RSV is an under-recognised cause of deterioration in health, particularly in frail elderly persons. Infection rates typically rise in late autumn and early winter causing bronchiolitis in infants, common colds in adults and insidious respiratory illness in the elderly. Virus detection methods optimised for use in children have low detection rate in adults, highlighting the need for better diagnostic tests. There are many vaccines under development, mostly based on the surface glycoprotein F which exists in two conformations (prefusion and postfusion). Much of the neutralising antibody appears to be to the prefusion form. Vaccines being developed include live attenuated, subunit, particle based and live vectored agents. Different vaccine strategies may be appropriate for different target populations: at-risk infants, school-age children, adult caregivers and the elderly. Antiviral drugs are in clinical trial and may find a place in disease management. RSV disease is one of the major remaining common tractable challenges in infectious diseases and the era of vaccines and antivirals for RSV is on the near horizon.

“…However, there is not yet any reported definite distinction between the severity of the disease and the type of viruses. So, to report the different clinical experiences can further contribute to composing a standardized definition of severity of RTIs, as Fretzayas and Moustaki suggested (12).…”

Evaluation of epidemiological and clinical features of respiratory viruses among hospitalized children

et al. 2020

The known about this topic Acute respiratory tract infections are among the most common causes of infectious diseases. Viruses are the leading cause of respiratory tract infections during childhood. Viruses are widespread and very contagious. Contribution of the study Timely and accurate diagnosis of viruses is necessary for public health because of their high socioeconemic burden. A definite differentiation cannot be made by clinical and radiologic findings among the various types of viruses, though there are some differences.

Etiology and clinical features of viral bronchiolitis in infancy

Abstract: For the time being, the diagnosis of bronchiolitis remains clinical. The isolation of the responsible respiratory pathogens does not seem to confer to the prognosis of the disease severity.
