  • Nous avons réalisé une étude prospective en recourant à la surveillance de la grippe basée sur des sites sentinelles dans le but de dépister le VRS grâce à la PCR en temps réel chez des patients souffrant d'infections respiratoires aiguës recrutés au cours de deux saisons (2014-2015 et 2015-2016). (who.int)
  • La proportion d'infections positives au VRS était plus élevée chez les patients hospitalisés pour une infection respiratoire aiguë que chez les patients en consultation externe souffrant de légers symptômes. (who.int)

  • Patients It was intended to investigate all children under 5 years old admitted with acute respiratory infections. (docksci.com)
  • Patients generally cannot tell the difference between the common cold virus and hMPV, but laboratory tests may be able to distinguish and identify the specific virus involved, Ogunseitan explained. (exbulletin.com)
  • Patients with severe infections, including difficulty breathing, should seek immediate medical attention," Dr. Ogunseitan said. (exbulletin.com)
  • The main objective of this study is to determine the effects of training-counseling programs on smoking cessation in patients with acute coronary syndrome. (ac.ir)
  • According to the findings of the study and given that the nurses are in the frontline of treatment process and also because they spend more time with patients and have a major impact on them, it is suggested to take advantage of the nurses to improve smoking cessation training-counseling programs regarding patients with acute coronary syndrome. (ac.ir)
  • In addition, smoking (recommend to leave it), among the other numerous risk factors, is the only factor which is addressed straightly in the guidelines provided to care the patients with acute coronary syndrome and providing smoke cessation training-consuling is considered a criterion to evaluate the quality of care provided for these patients. (ac.ir)
  • Nasopharyngeal swabs, sputum, and blood were collected from SARI patients enrolled and tested for viruses and bacteria. (123dok.net)
  • Acute cardiorespiratory failure: Patients with compromised cardiac or respiratory function may be at risk of acute cardiorespiratory failure. (nih.gov)
  • These infections, encompassing the likes of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza Virus, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus, pose a significant threat to human health. (boxtooll.com)
  • Meanwhile, Influenza Virus is notorious for causing acute respiratory infections, often leading to complications, especially in vulnerable individuals. (boxtooll.com)
  • This real-time RT-PCR test offers qualitative diagnostic capabilities for SARS-CoV-2, Influenza Virus, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus in nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs. (boxtooll.com)
  • Moreover, the RT-LAMP assay showed good specificity and no cross-reactivity was observed with human rhinovirus (HRV), human respiratory syncytial Virus (RSV), or influenza virus A/PR/8/34 (H1N1). (biomedcentral.com)
  • Both influenza virus and RSV infections were diagnosed most frequently in children under the age of one year, and diagnosed more frequently in males than females. (docksci.com)
  • It is suggested that infants admitted to hospital are a good source of influenza virus strains for monitoring antigenic variation. (docksci.com)
  • During both winters outbreaks of RSV and influenza virus infections occurred, and during the first winter there were also infections with influenza B virus. (docksci.com)
  • Influenza virus was isolated in monkey kidney or human embryo kidney cells, and RSV in bovine testis (Caul, Jacobs & Clarke, 1974), HEp-2, HeLa, or monkey kidney cells. (docksci.com)
