Respiratory Virus Infections

The dynamic of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory virus in children and adolescents is relevant in clinical context. There are few studies comparing clinical course in COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) and other respiratory virus in pediatric patients. The aim of this study was to compare demographics and clinical features, exams abnormalities, and outcomes in SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory virus infections in a pediatric population. This was a single-center prospective study, between April 17 to September 30, 2020. We evaluated 76 pediatric COVID-19 and 157 other respiratory virus infections. Rhinovirus occurred in 132/157(84%). COVID-19 patients were significantly older, had more fever (69% versus 50%; p=0.01), pneumonia (22% versus 5%; p<0.01), myalgia (29% versus 8%; p=0.001), headache (31% versus 14%; p=0.01) and worse outcomes than those with other respiratory virus infections. Our data emphasizes differences in clinical presentation and outcomes between pediatric COVID-19 and rhinovirus infections.

Abstract Over the last decade we have seen extraordinary public health gains due to expansions in global vaccination programs led by United Nations (UN) agencies, including Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, UNICEF and the WHO. These initiatives have reduced childhood deaths from measles, tetanus and other vaccine-preventable diseases by almost one half. There is additional excitement over the potential development and introduction of new vaccines to prevent highly lethal respiratory virus infections, as well as tuberculosis, malaria, HIV/AIDS and several neglected tropical diseases. However, these successes are under threat due to political instability, conflict and an accelerating antivaccine movement. New initiatives in vaccine diplomacy will be required to combat these challenges.

Abstract Pulmonary micro-thrombosis and vasculitis occur in fatal COVID-19. To determine if these processes occur in other life-threatening respiratory virus infections we identified autopsy studies of fatal influenza(n=455 patients), SARS(n=37), MERS(n=2), adenovirus(n=34) and RSV(n=30). Histological evidence of thrombosis was frequently present in adults with fatal influenza and SARS, with vasculitis also reported.

Abstract Detection of diverse respiratory viruses in Boston was around 80% lower after practices were instituted to limit COVID-19 spread compared to the same time period during the previous five years. Continuing the strategies that lower COVID-19 dissemination may be useful in decreasing the incidence of other viral respiratory infections.
