Viral load of respiratory syncytial virus among children from primary care and hospital settings admitted to a university hospital in Brazil (2009‐2013)

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a relevant cause of acute respiratory infection among children. Viral replication and immune conditions may account for severity. RSV viral load (VL) was assessed in 486 children (290 hospitalized and 196 from primary care) attended at São Paulo Hospital from 200...

Zusammenfassung:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a relevant cause of acute respiratory infection among children. Viral replication and immune conditions may account for severity. RSV viral load (VL) was assessed in 486 children (290 hospitalized and 196 from primary care) attended at São Paulo Hospital from 2009 to 2013. VL was calculated by real‐time reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction and expressed in Log10 RNA copies/mL. Coinfection with rhinovirus (RV) and influenza A virus was also tested.
