致敬经典:回顾我国儿童中呼吸道合胞病毒感染的早期开拓性研究

Tribute to early pioneering research:A review of original studies on respiratory syncytial virus infection in pediatric patients in China

呼吸道合胞病毒(respiratory syncytial virus,RSV)是世界各地婴幼儿下呼吸道感染最重要的病原。我国儿童中RSV感染的研究始于20世纪70年代初。回顾这段历史,可以看到科研紧密结合儿科临床需求,严格按照经典的病毒病原学方法,得到了翔实可靠的结果,为我国的RSV研究奠定了基础。

Respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections in infants and young children worldwide.The study on RSV infection in children dates back to the early 1970s.Looking back at the history,we can see a close association between scientific research and pediatric clinical needs,and how solid data are obtained by strictly following the classic methodology for viral etiological study.The original studies on respiratory syncytial virus infection in children lay the foundation for RSV research in China.
