The 3rd Workshop on Paediatric Virology, which took place on October 7th, 2017 in Athens, Greece, highlighted the role of breast feeding in the prevention of viral infections during the first years of life. Moreover, it focused on the long-term outcomes of respiratory syncytial virus and rhinovirus infections in prematurely born infants and emphasised the necessity for the development of relevant preventative strategies. Other topics that were covered included the vaccination policy in relation to the migration crisis, mother‑to‑child transmission of hepatitis B and C viruses, vaccination against human papilloma viruses in boys and advances on intranasal live‑attenuated vaccination against influenza. Emphasis was also given to the role of probiotics in the management of viral infections in childhood, the potential association between viral infections and the pathogenesis of asthma, fetal and neonatal brain imaging and the paediatric intensive care of children with central nervous system viral infections. Moreover, an interesting overview of the viral causes of perinatal mortality in ancient Greece was given, where recent archaeological findings from the Athenian Agora's bone well were presented. Finally, different continuing medical educational options in Paediatric Virology were analysed and evaluated. The present review provides an update of the key topics discussed during the workshop.
第三届儿科病毒学研讨会于 2017 年 10 月 7 日在希腊雅典举行，重点探讨了母乳喂养在婴儿生命早期预防病毒感染中的作用。此外，会议还关注了呼吸道合胞病毒和鼻病毒感染对早产儿的长期影响，并强调了制定相关预防策略的必要性。其他涵盖的主题包括与移民危机相关的疫苗接种政策、乙型肝炎和丙型肝炎病毒的母婴传播、男孩接种人乳头瘤病毒疫苗以及鼻内减毒活疫苗预防流感的进展。会议还强调了益生菌在儿童病毒感染管理中的作用、病毒感染与哮喘发病机制之间的潜在关联、胎儿和新生儿脑成像以及儿童中枢神经系统病毒感染的儿科重症监护。此外，还对古希腊围产期死亡的病毒病因进行了有趣的概述，介绍了雅典集市骨井最近的考古发现。最后，分析和评估了儿科病毒学中的不同继续教育选择。本综述提供了研讨会期间讨论的关键主题的最新信息。
