To obtain data on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) associated hospitalization rates in preterm infants of 28 weeks gestational age and less in the era of palivizumab prophylaxis.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is a leading cause of hospitalisation in early childhood and palivizumab is the only licensed intervention for prevention.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) accounts for about 20% of all respiratory infections in children below the age of 5 y.
Infants with premature birth 35 weeks gestational age, chronic lung disease of prematurity and congenital heart disease are at an increased risk for lower respiratory tract infections and hospitalization...
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of hospitalizations due to pneumonia and bronchiolitis. Substantial morbidity and socioeconomic burden are associated with RSV infection worldwide.
Introduction: The REGAL (RSV Evidence - A Geographical Archive of the Literature) series has provided a comprehensive review of the published evidence in the field of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in Western countries over the last 20 years.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MEDI8897 compared to palivizumab when administered to preterm infants entering their first RSV season and children with chronic lung disease (CLD) and congenital heart disease (CHD) entering their first and second RSV season.
Synagis is indicated for the prevention of serious lower respiratory tract disease requiring hospitalisation caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in children at high risk for RSV disease: • Children born at 35 weeks of gestation or less and less than 6 months of age at the onset of the RSV season. • Children less than 2 years of age and requiring treatment for bronchopulmonary dysplasia within the last 6 months. • Children less than 2 years of age and with haemodynamically significant congenital heart disease.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most frequent and important cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and children.
