Introducción: Las infecciones respiratorias agudas bajas causan alta morbi-mortalidad en niños. El virus respiratorio sincicial (VRS) es el agente más prevalente. Algunos virus causan infecciones nosocomiales graves. En Uruguay no se conoce la morbi-mortalidad de las infecciones nosocomiales causadas por VRS. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia y las características de las infecciones nosocomiales por VRS. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de las características de infecciones respiratorias bajas nosocomiales en menores de dos años adquiridas entre el 1/1/2005 y 31/12/2008 en el Hospital Pediátrico del Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell. Resultados: En el período evaluado fueron identificados 59 pacientes que adquirieron infección nosocomial por VRS, que representaron una tasa anual menor a 2/1000 egresos. La distribución mensual de los casos fue similar a la disposición de las infecciones respiratorias. No se registraron brotes de casos. La edad de los pacientes tuvo una media de 8,9 meses, 39 eran menores de un año, 23 presentaban factores de riego de enfermedad grave; 6 requirieron ingreso a terapia intensiva, todos requirieron asistencia ventilatoria mecánica, tres fallecieron, ninguno evolucionó a insuficiencia respiratoria crónica. Conclusiones: Las infecciones respiratorias nosocomiales por VRS fueron poco prevalentes, pese a la alta contagiosidad de este virus. Afectaron sobre todo a niños pequeños, portadores de factores de riesgo para infecciones graves. Su evolución fue similar a la reportada para las infecciones por VRS adquiridas en forma extrahospitalaria. Es importante mantener las normas de control de infecciones nosocomiales, para evitar la transmisión nosocomial de VRS y prevenir la aparición de enfermedades graves en pacientes hospitalizados.

To investigate the features of paramyxovirus respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), parainfluenza virus (PIV), and human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infection and determine the effect of meteorological conditions in Guangzhou, a subtropical region of southern China. We collected 11,398 respiratory samples from hospitalized pediatric patients with acute respiratory illness between July 2009 and June 2016 in Guangzhou. The samples were tested simultaneously for 18 respiratory pathogens using real-time PCR. Local meteorological data were also collected for correlation analysis. Of 11,398 patients tested, 5606 (49.2%) patients tested positive for one or more pathogens; RSV, PIV, and HMPV were the first, sixth, and ninth most frequently detected pathogens, in 1690 (14.8%), 502 (4.4%), and 321 (2.8%) patients, respectively. A total 17.9% (4605/5606) of patients with positive results had coinfection with other pathogens. Significant differences were found in the prevalence of RSV, PIV, and HMPV among all age groups (p < 0.001). RSV and HMPV had similar seasonal patterns, with two prevalence peaks every year. PIV appeared alternatively with RSV and HMPV. Multiple linear regression models were established for RSV, PIV, and HMPV prevalence and meteorological factors (p < 0.05). RSV and PIV incidence was negatively correlated with monthly mean relative humidity; RSV and HMPV incidence was negatively correlated with sunshine duration; PIV incidence was positively correlated with mean temperature. We described the features of paramyxovirus infection in a subtropical region of China and highlighted the correlation with meteorological factors. These findings will assist public health authorities and clinicians in improving strategies for controlling paramyxovirus infection.

The spread of microorganisms in the air, especially pathogenic microorganisms, seriously affects people’s normal life. Therefore, the analysis and detection of airborne microorganisms is of great importance in environmental detection, disease prevention and biosafety. As an emerging technology with the advantages of integration, miniaturization and high efficiency, microfluidic chips are widely used in the detection of microorganisms in the environment, bringing development vitality to the detection of airborne microorganisms, and they have become a research highlight in the prevention and control of infectious diseases. Microfluidic chips can be used for the detection and analysis of bacteria, viruses and fungi in the air, mainly for the detection of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, H1N1 virus, SARS-CoV-2 virus, Aspergillus niger, etc. The high sensitivity has great potential in practical detection. Here, we summarize the advances in the collection and detection of airborne microorganisms by microfluidic chips. The challenges and trends for the detection of airborne microorganisms by microfluidic chips was also discussed. These will support the role of microfluidic chips in the prevention and control of air pollution and major outbreaks.
