RS virus was isolated from 10·5% of the specimens examined in the MRC/PHLS hospital survey and from 0·9% of those in the general practice survey. The highest isolation rates were in infants with lower respiratory tract infections. Dyspnoea, wheezing and cough were the predominant clinical features. The differences in the rates between hospital and general practice and newer methods of diagnosis of RS virus infection are discussed.
在医学研究委员会/公共卫生实验室服务处(MRC/PHLS)的医院调查中,从10.5%的检测标本中分离出了呼吸道合胞病毒(RS病毒);在全科医疗调查中,这一比例为0.9%。分离率最高的是患有下呼吸道感染的婴儿。呼吸困难、喘息和咳嗽是主要的临床症状。本文讨论了医院和全科医疗中该病毒分离率的差异以及呼吸道合胞病毒感染的新诊断方法。
