Medimmune announces phase 2 safety data for anti-RSV antibody and national RSV surveillance results
MedImmune, Inc. today announced results from two important studies presented at the 2007 Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) 45th Annual Meeting adding to the body of knowledge about respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). view more (2007-10-05)
Children infected with 'RSV' virus three times as likely to wheeze in early childhood
Young children who wheeze are three times as likely to be infected with RSV, a common respiratory virus and only half as likely to have influenza virus as children with a cold but no wheeze, suggests research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. The evidence shows that wheezing affects around one in every two children up to the age of 6 years,... view more... (2002-08-20)
RSV may hide in the lungs, lead to asthma, UT Southwestern researchers report
Conventional wisdom has been that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) - a common virus that causes infection in the lungs - comes and goes in children without any long lasting impact. view more (2008-10-22)
MedImmune to present RSV surveillance and cost-effectiveness data at American Academy of Pediatrics
MedImmune, Inc. today announced it will present three abstracts at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) 2007 National Conference & Exhibition, adding to the company's growing body of research into the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a leading cause of hospitalization among infants. view more (2007-10-29)
MedImmune presents new data showing burden of RSV disease
MedImmune today announced results from a recent study it sponsored, performed by the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in Oakland, CA, assessing risk factors for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection requiring medical treatment in infants born at 33 weeks gestational age [GA] or later. view more (2009-05-06)
Climate change may affect length of respiratory infection season
Rising global temperatures over the past two decades may be responsible for a shortened season of a serious respiratory illness in the United Kingdom. view more (2006-02-10)
New agent strikes at respiratory syncytial virus replication
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston researchers have achieved promising results with a potential new weapon against respiratory syncytial virus, the most common cause of infant hospitalization in the United States. view more (2008-05-06)
Even mildly premature infants have increased risk of a common respiratory tract infection
Even mildly premature infants (gestational ages of 33 weeks through 36 weeks) have an increased risk of medically attended respiratory syncytial virus infection, which is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and young children and can lead to pneumonia in babies. view more (2009-05-06)
Genetic risk factor for common childhood respiratory infection identified
The severity of the common childhood infection, bronchiolitis, may be genetically determined, shows research in Thorax. Bronchiolitis is a respiratory infection which affects nearly all children by their second year. Occurring in winter epidemics, in most cases it is caused by respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV. Its primary symptom is... view more... (2000-11-16)
Protecting babies from RSV could reduce the chances of wheeze and asthma during childhood
Researchers from Imperial College London and St Mary’s NHS Trust have discovered that keeping people with coughs and sneezes away from young babies may cut the likelihood of developing wheeze or asthma later in childhood. view more (2002-11-14)
Researchers discover cold virus can 'hit and hide'
An international team of researchers has discovered that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a common cold virus causing bronchiolitis in children, can act as a 'hit and hide' virus. It was thought that the virus could only survive in the body for a few days, but these new results show that the virus can survive for many months or years, perhaps... view more... (2004-04-23)
Scientists find infection history must play key role in vaccine development
Under Strict Embargo for 00.01hrs GMT Monday 6 November 2000 The timing and design of vaccines used to immunise against lung infections may have to change in the light of research findings by Imperial College scientists (1). The research published today in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, shows for the first time that the previous... view more... (2000-11-03)
Flu not the only germ threat this time of year
The flu hasn't even hit hard yet this year, but it seems like everyone's getting sick. What's the deal? view more (2006-01-13)
Molecular imaging may lead to earlier diagnosis of childhood respiratory virus
Scientists have used a powerful molecular imaging technique to see inside living cells infected with the most pervasive and potentially fatal childhood respiratory virus known to medicine - respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). view more (2006-04-19)
MedImmune to present data on RSV and influenza at 2009 AAP National Conference and Exhibition
MedImmune announced today it will present four abstracts at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) 2009 National Conference & Exhibition that add to the company's growing body of research on the burden of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) on children, as well as pediatric infectious disease prevention. view more (2009-10-19)
Weak immune response critical to disease that causes most infant hospitalizations
The most common cause of infant hospitalization in the United States, respiratory syncytial virus, infects virtually all children by age two. Along with the influenza virus, RSV is a major contributor to the approximately two million infant deaths worldwide caused every year by respiratory infections. view more (2007-04-09)
UQ research heralds vaccine technology breakthrough
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is a widespread infant illness that has been linked to asthma and can be deadly but may be curable by the development of this new vaccine technology by the Sir Albert Sakzewski Virus Research Centre and The University of Queensland's Faculty of Biological and Chemical Sciences. view more (2007-05-09)
Rapid flu testing
Researchers from the Medical College of Wisconsin, the Children's Research Institute, and the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin have developed a rapid, automated system to differentiate strains of influenza. view more (2010-01-04)
Naturally occurring lipid blocks RSV infection in lungs
Researchers at National Jewish Health have discovered that a naturally occurring lipid in the lung can prevent RSV infection and inhibit spread of the virus after an infection is established. RSV is the major cause of hospitalization for children in the first two years of life, and is increasingly recognized as a dangerous pathogen in adults with... view more... (2009-12-22)
Study first to show that RNA interference can facilitate vaccine development
Pharmaceutical companies and universities are racing to develop drugs that use the gene silencing mechanism known as RNA interference to treat a host of diseases. view more (2008-12-11)
