The impact of viral dynamics on the clinical severity of infants with respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis.

ABSTRACT: The impact of dynamic respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) load on the clinical severity of hospitalized infants with bronchiolitis has not been clarified. Nasopharyngeal aspirates were obtained from 60 infants who were diagnosed with bronchiolitis within 96 hr of wheezing onset upon admission and on days 3, 5, and 7 in the hospital, and 17 respiratory viruses were detected. The RSV load was quantified by real-time qPCR for RSV subtypes A and B at different time points. Scoring criteria were used to evaluate the degree of severity. A total of 40 infants were determined to be RSV-positive, nine were identified as RSV subtype A (RSVA), and 31 were RSV subtype B (RSVB). The peak RSV load was observed upon admission, and the RSV load decreased significantly over time; in addition, this decrease began to have significant differences on day 5. There was a positive correlation between the RSV load and the clinical score (r(2) = 0.121 and P < 0.001). According to the clinical scores, the infants in the severe group tended to have higher RSV loads than those in the moderate and mild groups. Multivariate logistic regression models revealed that the viral load on day 3 was independently associated with the degree of severity. This study elucidated that a higher mean RSV load was associated with a more severe disease and a longer duration of hospitalization and symptoms. This study also clarified RSV replication in infants and provides a theoretical basis for specifying an anti-RSV therapy strategy.

Viral Load Dynamics and Clinical Disease Severity in Infants With Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection.

Project description:BackgroundThe association between respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) loads and clinical outcomes in children remains to be defined. In most studies, viral loads (VL) were evaluated in hospitalized children and at a single time-point. We investigated the relationship between VLs and disease severity in both outpatients and inpatients with RSV infection.MethodsWe enrolled previously healthy children with RSV infection. Disease severity was defined by level of care (outpatients vs ward vs pediatric intensive care unit [PICU]), and a clinical disease severity score (CDSS). Nasopharyngeal VLs by polymerase chain reaction and CDSS were measured at enrollment and daily in inpatients. VL decay according to disease severity was analyzed using linear mixed modeling.ResultsFrom February 2015 to March 2017, we enrolled 150 infants: 39 outpatients and 111 inpatients. VLs were higher in outpatients than in age-matched inpatients. Among inpatients, initial VLs were comparable in ward and PICU patients, and preceded the peak CDSS. However, after excluding infants treated with steroids, those hospitalized in the ward had higher VLs than infants requiring PICU care (P < .001). Dynamic analyses showed that VL decay was delayed in PICU patients, especially in those treated with steroids.ConclusionsHigher VLs at presentation and a faster and consistent VL decline were both associated with less severe RSV disease in children.SummaryInfants with less severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease had higher viral loads (VL) at presentation, and faster and consistent VL decline. Conversely, VL decay and overall viral exposure were prolonged and higher in infants severe RSV disease receiving steroids.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Genotypes and Disease Severity in Young Children Hospitalized with Bronchiolitis

Project description:Background: There is limited data on how different RSV genotypes and associated viral loads influence disease phenotypes. We characterized the genetic variability of RSV strains during five non-consecutive respiratory seasons, and evaluated the role of RSV subtypes, genotypes and viral loads on clinical disease severity. Methods: Healthy infants hospitalized with RSV bronchiolitis were prospectively enrolled and nasopharyngeal samples obtained within 24h of hospitalization for RSV load quantitation by PCR, typing and genotyping. Parameters of disease severity were assessed, and multivariate models constructed to identify virologic and clinical factors predictive of clinical outcomes. Results: From March 2004 to April 2011, we enrolled 253 patients (56.5 % males; median age 2.1 (1.1-4.0) months). RSV A infections predominated over RSV B (69% vs. 31%; p<0.001) and showed greater genotype variability. The most common genotypes were RSV A/GA2, A/GA5 and RSV B/BA. Infants infected with RSV GA5 had higher viral loads compared with GA2 or BA infection (p<0.01), independent of duration of symptoms. After adjusting for other covariates, RSV A/GA5 infections were associated with longer hospital stay. Conclusions: RSV A infections were more frequent than RSV B infections and displayed greater genetic variability. Infections with GA5 were independently associated with clinical disease severity.

Whole blood gene expression in infants with respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis.

Project description:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of viral bronchiolitis in infants worldwide, and environmental, viral and host factors are all of importance for disease susceptibility and severity. To study the systemic host response to this disease we used the microarray technology to measure mRNA gene expression levels in whole blood of five male infants hospitalised with acute RSV, subtype B, bronchiolitis versus five one year old male controls exposed to RSV during infancy without bronchiolitis. The gene expression levels were further evaluated in a new experiment using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) both in the five infants selected for microarray and in 13 other infants hospitalised with the same disease.Among the 30 genes most differentially expressed by microarray nearly 50% were involved in immunological processes. We found the highly upregulated interferon, alpha-inducible protein 27 (IFI27) and the highly downregulated gene Charcot-Leyden crystal protein (CLC) to be the two most differentially expressed genes in the microarray study. When performing QRT-PCR on these genes IFI27 was upregulated in all but one infant, and CLC was downregulated in all 18 infants, and similar to that given by microarray.The gene IFI27 is upregulated and the gene CLC is downregulated in whole blood of infants hospitalised with RSV, subtype B, bronchiolitis and is not reported before. More studies are needed to elucidate the specificity of these gene expressions in association with host response to this virus in bronchiolitis of moderate severity.

Blood mRNA profiling to support prognosis of disease severity in respiratory syncytial virus infected infants

Project description:In this study we investigated whether there exists a genomic signature that can accurately predict the course of a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in hospitalized young infants. We used early blood microarray transcriptome profiles from 39 infants that were followed until recovery and of which the level of disease severity was determined retrospectively. Applying support vector machine learning on age by sex standardized transcriptomic data, an 84 gene signature was identified that discriminated hospitalized infants with eventually less severe RSV infection from infants that suffered from most severe RSV disease.

Effectiveness of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Immunoprophylaxis in Reducing Bronchiolitis Hospitalizations Among High-Risk Infants.

Project description:We sought to determine the real-world effectiveness of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) immunoprophylaxis in a population-based cohort to inform policy. The study population included infants born during 1996-2008 and enrolled in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California integrated health-care delivery system. During the RSV season (November-March), the date of RSV immunoprophylaxis administration and the following 30 days were defined as RSV immunoprophylaxis protected period(s), and all other days were defined as unprotected period(s). Numbers of bronchiolitis hospitalizations were determined using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, codes during RSV season. We used a proportional hazards model to estimate risk of bronchiolitis hospitalization when comparing infants' protected period(s) with unprotected period(s). Infants who had ever received RSV immunoprophylaxis had a 32% decreased risk of bronchiolitis hospitalization (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.68, 95% confidence interval: 0.46, 1.00) when protected periods were compared with unprotected periods. Infants with chronic lung disease (CLD) had a 52% decreased risk of bronchiolitis hospitalization (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.48, 95% confidence interval: 0.25, 0.94) when protected periods were compared with unprotected periods. Under the new 2014 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines, 48% of infants eligible for RSV immunoprophylaxis on the basis of AAP guidelines in place at birth would no longer be eligible, but nearly all infants with CLD would remain eligible. RSV immunoprophylaxis is effective in decreasing hospitalization. This association is greatest for infants with CLD, a group still recommended for receipt of RSV immunoprophylaxis under the new AAP guidelines.

Integrated omics endotyping of infants with respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis and risk of childhood asthma.

Project description:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis is not only the leading cause of hospitalization in U.S. infants, but also a major risk factor for asthma development. While emerging evidence suggests clinical heterogeneity within RSV bronchiolitis, little is known about its biologically-distinct endotypes. Here, we integrated clinical, virus, airway microbiome (species-level), transcriptome, and metabolome data of 221 infants hospitalized with RSV bronchiolitis in a multicentre prospective cohort study. We identified four biologically- and clinically-meaningful endotypes: A) clinicalclassicmicrobiomeM. nonliquefaciensinflammationIFN-intermediate, B) clinicalatopicmicrobiomeS. pneumoniae/M. catarrhalisinflammationIFN-high, C) clinicalseveremicrobiomemixedinflammationIFN-low, and D) clinicalnon-atopicmicrobiomeM.catarrhalisinflammationIL-6. Particularly, compared with endotype A infants, endotype B infants-who are characterized by a high proportion of IgE sensitization and rhinovirus coinfection, S. pneumoniae/M. catarrhalis codominance, and high IFN-α and -γ response-had a significantly higher risk for developing asthma (9% vs. 38%; OR, 6.00: 95%CI, 2.08-21.9; P = 0.002). Our findings provide an evidence base for the early identification of high-risk children during a critical period of airway development.

Human metapneumovirus in severe respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis.

Project description:Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect segments of the M (matrix), N (nucleoprotein), and F (fusion) genes of human metapneumovirus in bronchoalveolar fluid from 30 infants with severe respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis. Seventy percent of them were coinfected with metapneumovirus. Such coinfection might be a factor influencing the severity of bronchiolitis.

Transcriptome assists prognosis of disease severity in respiratory syncytial virus infected infants.

Project description:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes infections that range from common cold to severe lower respiratory tract infection requiring high-level medical care. Prediction of the course of disease in individual patients remains challenging at the first visit to the pediatric wards and RSV infections may rapidly progress to severe disease. In this study we investigate whether there exists a genomic signature that can accurately predict the course of RSV. We used early blood microarray transcriptome profiles from 39 hospitalized infants that were followed until recovery and of which the level of disease severity was determined retrospectively. Applying support vector machine learning on age by sex standardized transcriptomic data, an 84 gene signature was identified that discriminated hospitalized infants with eventually less severe RSV infection from infants that suffered from most severe RSV disease. This signature yielded an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.966 using leave-one-out cross-validation on the experimental data and an AUC of 0.858 on an independent validation cohort consisting of 53 infants. A combination of the gene signature with age and sex yielded an AUC of 0.971. Thus, the presented signature may serve as the basis to develop a prognostic test to support clinical management of RSV patients.

Virus-Specific Antibody, Viral Load, and Disease Severity in Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection.

Project description:Background:Maternally derived serum antibody and viral load are thought to influence disease severity in primary respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. As part of the AsPIRES study of RSV pathogenesis, we correlated various serum antibody concentrations and viral load with disease severity. Methods:Serum neutralizing antibody titers and levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) to RSV fusion protein (F), attachment proteins of RSV group A and B, the CX3C region of G, and nasal viral load were measured in 139 full-term previously healthy infants with primary RSV infection and correlated with illness severity. Results:Univariate analysis showed no relationship between measures of serum antibody and severity. However, a multivariate model adjusting for age at the time of infection found a significant 0.56 decrease in severity score for each 2-fold increase in antibody concentration to RSV F. The benefit of antibody was greatest in infants ? 2 months of age. Additionally, estimated antibody titer at birth was correlated with age at infection, suggesting that higher antibody titers delay infection. Viral load did not differ by illness severity. Conclusion:Our data support the concept of maternal immunization with an RSV vaccine during pregnancy as a strategy for reducing the burden of RSV infection in full-term healthy infants exposed to RSV during their first winter.
