Abstract:
Objective To analyze the clinical features of infants infected by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) or human rhinovirus (HRV) in lower respiratory tract in Suzhou area based on the month age and the month of the year.Methods From January 2013 to December 2015,2 206 nasopharyngeal aspirates specimens were collected from the infants with lower respiratory tract infection.Direct immunofluorescence assay was performed to test RSV.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) method was used to test HRV.The medical history was collected and pulmonary function tests were performed in some infants who were infected with RSV and HRV.Results In 2 206 cases,total RSV positive rate was 19.90％ (439/2 206 cases) and simple RSV infection positive was detected in 399 cases.Total HRV positive rate was 14.14％ (312/2 206 cases),in which simple HRV infection positive was detected in 250 cases and the detection rate of RSV was significantly higher than that of HRV(x2 =25.88,P ＜0.05).The incidence rate of wheezing in simple RSV infection was 68.17％ (272/399 cases),which was significantly higher than that of simple HRV infection (42.80％,107/250 cases) (x2 =11.174,P ＜ 0.05).RSV infection was frequent from November to February of the next year in which the detection rate in December was highest with the proportion of 50.00％ (99/198 cases) while the rate in June was only 0.57％ (1/175 cases).The detection rate of HRV was 22.86％ (40/175 cases),20.47％ (35/171 cases) and 20.33％ (25/123 cases) in June,July and September respectively.The detection rate of HRV was lower during December to February of the next year.In January,the detection rate was only 4.68％ (11/235 cases),which was the lowest in the whole year.The detection rates of RSV were 33.33％ (4/12 cases),25.21％ (118/468 cases),23.46％ (84/358 cases) and 23.81％ (60/252 cases) in the age group of 28 d-1 month,＞ 1-2 month,＞ 2-3 month and ＞ 3-4 months respectively.Up to the age of 4 months old,the detection rate decreased gradually,and with the increase of age and the detection rate in ＞ 7-8 month group was only 10.96％ (16/146 cases).The detection rate of HRV was 0 (0/12)and 9.40％ (44/468 cases) in the age group of 28 d1 month,＞ 1-2 month,respectively.After 2 months age old,the detection rate fluctuation ranged from 13.22％ to 16.67％.The incidence rate of severe RSV infection was 12.30％ (54/439 cases) and the incidence rate of severe HRV infection was 5.13％ (16/312 cases).Increased respiratory rate was more common in patients with severe RSV infection while severe HRV infection in infants were accompanied by multiple lobar involvement.After RSV infection,the incidence rate of pulmonary function damage was 89.03％ (276/310 cases).After HRV infection,89.27％ (183/205 cases)of the infants suffered from pulmonary function damage.Both RSV and HRV infection might cause pulmonary function damage.Conclusions RSV and HRV are the major pathogens in infants of Suzhou areas.The incidence of RSV-induced wheezing is significantly higher than that of HRV.RSV is detected positive mainly in winter and early spring and the infants within 4-month old are susceptible population.HRV is detected positive mainly in June,July and September and the infants older than 2 months are susceptible population.The incidence of severe RSV infection is significantly higher than that of HRV.Severe RSV infection may cause increased respiratory rate and severe HRV infection mainly cause multiple lobar involvement.RSV and HRV infection may cause pulmonary function damage.
