呼吸道合胞病毒及其基因检测

Respiratory syncytial virus and gene detection

呼吸道合胞病毒是引起婴幼儿呼吸道疾病的重要病原体,易引起毛细支气管炎和肺炎,产生严重的感染和并发症。儿童感染后可能会表现出喂养效果差、鼻漏、呼吸暂停、喘鸣和呼吸窘迫等症状。成人急性感染也很常见,对于免疫力低下的老年人也可能引起严重肺炎,并发展为成人呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)。分别对呼吸道合胞病毒的分子生物学特征、流行病学、临床症状、预防和治疗、临床和试验室检测方法进行介绍,以加深对该病毒的了解。

RSV is the most important respiratory pathogen in both infants and young children which as a major cause of respiratory infections such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia in babies and children, producing serious infections and complications. Infants infected with RSV may demonstrate poor feeding, rhinorrhea, apnea, lethargy, wheezing, and respiratory distress. RSV acute infections is common in adults, especially for those of low immune function people, and may develop into adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Molecular biology characters, epidemiology, clinical symptoms, prevention, treatment and diagnosis methods to deepen the understanding of the respiratory syncytial virus were discussied.
