The seasonal variation in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in children was examined in Benin City. Nasopharyngeal washes were obtained from children under 3 years hospitalised for acute lower respiratory infections during two seasons - rainy season (June-August) and dry season (December-February). RSV surface antigen was identified by ELISA. 54% of patients in the rainy season were ELISA positive for RSV compared to 8.8% during the dry season. Clinical features in the RSV infected patients were not different between the two seasons and were similar to that reported from temperate climates. It is concluded that RSV infections occur all year round with a peak during the rainy season.
在贝宁城对儿童呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）感染的季节性变化进行了研究。从两个季节（雨季，6月至8月；旱季，12月至2月）因急性下呼吸道感染住院的3岁以下儿童中采集鼻咽冲洗液。通过酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）鉴定RSV表面抗原。雨季54%的患者RSV ELISA检测呈阳性，而旱季这一比例为8.8%。两个季节中RSV感染患者的临床特征并无差异，且与温带气候地区报告的情况相似。得出的结论是，RSV感染全年都有发生，在雨季达到高峰。
