We investigated the role of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in respiratory tract infections of up-to-3-months old infants. This prospective study was carried out from April 1993 to March 1994. Detection of RSV antigen in nasopharyngeal specimens was done by enzyme immunoassay using TESTPACK RSV at our out patient clinic. During this study period, 65 young infants with respiratory tract infection visited our clinic. Seventeen patients (26%) were diagnosed as having RSV infection. Fifteen out of the 17 infants with RSV infection were observed in spring and winter. Fourteen out of the 17 infants with RSV infection had acute bronchiolitis or pneumonia. In contrast to RSV infection, only three patients out of the 48 infants with non-RSV infection had lower respiratory tract infection. In conclusion, the majority of young infants infected with RSV suffered from bronchiolitis or pneumonia.
我们研究了呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）在3个月及以下婴儿呼吸道感染中的作用。这项前瞻性研究于1993年4月至1994年3月进行。在我们的门诊诊所，使用TESTPACK RSV通过酶免疫测定法检测鼻咽标本中的RSV抗原。在本研究期间，65名患有呼吸道感染的幼儿前来我们诊所就诊。17名患者（26%）被诊断为患有RSV感染。17名感染RSV的婴儿中有15名在春季和冬季被观察到。17名感染RSV的婴儿中有14名患有急性细支气管炎或肺炎。与RSV感染形成对比的是，48名非RSV感染的婴儿中只有3名患有下呼吸道感染。总之，大多数感染RSV的幼儿患有细支气管炎或肺炎。
