Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a widespread respiratory pathogen, and
RSV-related acute lower respiratory tract infections are the most common cause of …

Current infection biomarkers are highly limited since they have low capability to predict
infection in the presence of confounding processes such as in non-infectious inflammatory …

Globally, malaria is a public health concern, with severe malaria (SM) contributing a major
share of the disease burden in malaria endemic countries. In this context, identification and …

Background Worldwide, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections are among the most
common causes of infant hospitalization. Host genetic factors influencing the risk and …

Early childhood is characterised by repeated infectious exposures that result in inflammatory
responses by the innate immune system. In addition, this inflammatory response to infection …

Introduction The human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is one of childhood diseases'
most common respiratory pathogens and is highly associated with lower respiratory tract …

Objectives We aim to study the viral kinetics and host inflammatory response of RSV
infection in older adults, and their correlation with disease severity. Methods We performed a …

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of severe respiratory tract infection at
the extremes of age and in vulnerable populations. However, it is difficult to predict the …

Infections due to human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) and human bocavirus (HBoV)
can mediate the release of several pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α …

Background and Objectives: In this study, we applied one-step real time rt-PCR technology
type II INF signature to blood and nasopharyngeal (NPS) swabs of acute early recovery …
