Respiratory Syncytial Virus. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has warranted special consideration because it is the commonest cause of bronchiolitis, an acute wheezy illness of infants. A study of children in Sweden, which used a case-control methodology, showed a positive association between RSV infection in infancy requiring hospitalisation, and allergic sensitisation at age... [Pg.59]

Respiratory Syncytial Virus. Respiratory syncytial vims (RSV) causes severe lower respiratory tract disease in infants. It is the major cause of hospitalization in the United States (- 90,000 events/yr) and it has a high mortaUty rate in neonates and other high risk populations, such as the geriatric population (51). Development of an RSV vaccine has always been a major priority, however, earlier attempts have mostiy failed (70). [Pg.359]

Many enveloped viruses share a common mechanism of fusion, mediated by a virus-encoded glycoprotein that contains heptad repeats in its extraceUnlar domain. Dnring the fnsion process, these domains rearrange to form highly structured and thermodynamically stable coiled-coils. Viruses encoding fusion proteins that have these domains inclnde members of the paramyxovirus family (e.g., respiratory syncytial virus, metapneumovirus, and measles virus), ebola virus, influenza, and members of the retroviridae (e.g., human T cell lenkemia virus type-1 and human immunodeficiency virus type-1, HlV-1). Peptide inhibitors of fusion that disrupt the... [Pg.178]

Rhinosinusitis is one of the most common medical conditions in the United States, affecting about 1 billion people annually.1 It is caused mainly by respiratory viruses such as rhinovirus, influenza virus, and respiratory syncytial virus but also can be due to allergies or environmental irritants. Only 0.5% to 2% of... [Pg.1067]

In 2001, researchers at Wyeth-Ayerst described the preparation of RFI-641, a potent and selective inhibitor of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) [251], The final key step in the synthesis involved the coupling of a diaminobiphenyl with two equivalents of a chlorotriazine derivative under microwave irradiation (Scheme 6.123). The reaction was carried out in dimethyl sulfoxide/phosphate buffer/sodium hydroxide in an open vessel at 105 °C. This protocol provided RFI-641 in 10% isolated yield. [Pg.190]

The sera of mice fed with fresh spinach leaves infected with AlMV particles presenting a rabies virus epitope contained IgG and IgA. Mucosal IgA was also detected [48]. Human volunteers (in FDA approved trials) fed with spinach containing recombinant particles generated both IgG and IgA responses specific to the pathogen [49]. The trials also suggested that plant virus particle-based vaccines could be effectively used in prime-boost regimens. In more recent work, recombinant AlMV particles containing an epitope from the G protein of human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) induced protective immunity in mice [33]. [Pg.86]

The answer is e. (Katzung, p 842.) Ribavirin most likely interferes with guanosine triphosphate synthesis, resulting in inhibition of capping of viral messenger RNA and viral RN A-dependent RNA polymerase. It is effective in moderating infections with respiratory syncytial virus. [Pg.85]

Respiratory viruses are by far the most common infectious agents associated with acute bronchitis. The common cold viruses, rhinovirus and coronavirus, and lower respiratory tract pathogens, including influenza virus, adenovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus, account for the majority of cases. Mycoplasma pneumoniae also appears to be a frequent cause of acute bronchitis. Other bacterial causes include Chlamydia pneumoniae and Bordetella pertussis. [Pg.478]

Respiratory syncytial virus is the most common cause of bronchiolitis, accounting for up to 70% of all cases. Parainfluenza viruses are the second most common cause. Bacteria serve as secondary pathogens in only a small minority of cases. [Pg.483]
