Objective. To study the occurrence of bronchial obstructive symptoms and immunoglobulin (Ig) E antibodies after respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis in infancy. Previous studies of this subject have mostly been retrospective or without controls, or the controls have not been followed prospectively. Design. This was a prospective cohort study with matched controls. Participants. Forty-seven infants had experienced RSV bronchiolitis severe enough to cause hospitalization at a mean age of 3½ months. For each child with RSV infection, two controls were acquired from the local Child Health Center and matched for date of birth, sex, and residence. Only one control was obtained for one RSV child, and the control group thus contained 93 children. Methods. All the children underwent two follow-up examinations, the first one at a mean age of 1 year and the second at a mean age of 3 years. At the first follow-up, a skin-prick test against egg white was performed, and serum IgG antibodies against RSV were measured. At the second follow-up, serum IgE antibodies were measured using screening tests for common food and inhalant antibodies, and skin-prick tests against egg white, cat, birch, and mite allergen were performed. Hereditary and environmental factors (passive smoking, indoor furred animals) and duration of breast-feeding were recorded. Results. At the first follow-up, 89% in the RSV group and 27% in the control group had IgG antibodies against RSV (P < .001). At the second follow-up, asthma, defined as three episodes of bronchial obstruction verified by a physician, was found in 11 of 47 children (23%) in the RSV group and in 1 of 93 children (1%) in the control group (P < .001). A positive test for IgE antibodies was noted in 14 of 44 (32%) RSV children and in 8 of 92 (9%) children in the control group (P = .002). An analysis of risk factors for the development of asthma and IgE antibodies on the whole group of 140 children showed that RSV bronchiolitis was the most important risk factor, and a family history of atopy or asthma further increased the risk. Conclusions. Respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis during the first year of life apparently is an important risk factor for the development of asthma and sensitization to common allergens during the subsequent 2 years, particularly in children with heredity for atopy/asthma.

Abstract Background The role of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in the development of asthma/wheezing (AW) has been evaluated in several studies, mostly among pre-term infants or among infants after developing severe RSV-related disease. We describe the cumulative incidence (CI) of AW among hospitalized/ambulatory neonates/infants/toddlers after RSV/bronchiolitis infection diagnosis, in a large clinical database. Methods Using deidentified Optum Integrated commercial claims and electronic medical records, we identified patients (0–<3 years old) with a first clinical diagnosis of RSV/bronchiolitis infection from 01 January 2008–31 March 2016. Patients with a diagnosis of asthma/wheezing ≤30 days after first RSV/bronchiolitis diagnosis were excluded. Three cohorts were created with 1/3/5 years of follow-up time required, respectively. Patients were grouped by specific high-risk factors (HRF+/−), including pre-term births and predefined pre-existing disease. Descriptive statistics are reported, with comparisons made by logistic regression analyses. Results 9,811/4,524/1,788 patients with RSV/bronchiolitis infection and HRF− were included in the 1/3/5-years follow-up cohorts. 14.9%/28.2%/36.3% had AW events by the end of follow-up in the three cohorts. 6.5%/6.9%/5.8% were hospitalized for RSV/bronchiolitis. 3,030/1,378/552 patients with RSV/bronchiolitis infection and HRF+ were included in the 1/3/5-years follow-up cohorts. 18.1%/32.9%/37.9% had AW events by the end of follow-up in the three cohorts. 11.4%/11.1%/11.6% were hospitalized for RSV/bronchiolitis. The CI rates of AW in the 1/3/5-year HRF+/− cohorts, stratified by hospitalized for RSV/bronchiolitis Y/N, are shown in Figure 1. Logistic regression confirmed that hospitalization for RSV/bronchiolitis was associated with an increased (P < 0.05) likelihood of AW, for HRF+ and HRF− patients at each follow-up year. Conclusion Thirty-eight percent of RSV/bronchiolitis infants/neonates/toddlers HRF+, and 36% among infants/neonates/toddlers HRF−, developed AW in the 5 years after first RSV/bronchiolitis diagnosis. RSV/bronchiolitis hospitalization was associated with a significantly increased risk of AW development in 1/3/5 years of follow-up; confirming previous observational study results. Disclosures V.

Abstract Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) during infancy worldwide. High cord blood (CB) concentrations of anti-RSV neutralizing antibody (nAb) may attenuate, delay, or prevent infant infection. We report RSV A and B nAb concentrations in CB and serum from a birth cohort at different time points through 2 years of age. Methods Between 2013 and 2017, newborns from 8 countries were studied prospectively from birth to 2 years of age (NCT01995175). CB was collected at birth for the entire cohort. A subcohort of children was randomly assigned to have one blood sample collected again at either 2, 4, 6, 12, 18, or 24 months of age. Sera were analyzed for RSV A and B nAb concentrations by serum neutralization assay. Active surveillance was used to identify LRTIs during the 2-year follow-up as previously reported. Results In total, 2,401 newborns were enrolled and followed up. >99% of infants had detectable CB RSV A and B nAb. Geometric mean antibody titers (GMTs) varied by country, but were overall higher for RSV B than for RSV A (327 vs. 251; Figure 1). The lowest GMTs were seen from CB sera collected from South African newborns (197 RSV A, 255 RSV B); Canadian newborns had the highest RSV A GMT (383), while Hondurans had the highest RSV B GMT (460). 1380 infants provided follow-up serum nAb results as part of the subcohort (Figure 2). Dramatic waning of GMTs was evident, with a ~3-fold drop in GMTs at 2 months of age, and an additional ~2-fold drop between 2 and 4 months of age. At 6 and 12 months of age, 71% and 50% of infants had RSV A nAb and GMTs were at a nadir of 14. At 6, 12, and 18 months of age, RSV B nAb was detected in 98%, 69%, and 63% of infants, respectively. The RSV B nAb nadir GMT of 20 was observed at 12 months of age, while the 6- and 18-month RSV B nAb GMTs were 30 and 31, respectively. A total of 1,017 LRTIs were identified during the 2-year study period; of which, 94 (9%) were caused by RSV A and 132 (13%) by RSV B. Associations between CB nAb levels and RSV infection will be presented. Conclusion Neutralizing Ab to RSV A and B was present at birth in infants from 8 countries, and waned over time. GMTs were at a nadir at 6 to 12 months of age. Funding. GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals SA. Disclosures All Authors: No reported Disclosures.

Abstract Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of infant hospitalizations and risk varies by gestational age (GA). Healthcare utilization following early hospitalizations caused by RSV (RSVH) or unspecified bronchiolitis (UBH) is not well understood. This study examined healthcare resource utilization (HRU) across GA categories within 12 months after an initial RSVH or UBH occurring in the first year of life. Methods Infants born July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2015 were identified in the MarketScan Commercial (COM) and Multistate Medicaid (MED) databases and assigned to GA categories using DRG and ICD codes and to an initial hospitalization cohort using inpatient claim diagnosis codes (RSVH, UBH without RSVH, or COMP [a comparator without RSVH or UBH]). Index dates (first admission dates for hospitalized infants) were assigned to COMP infants using times from birth to index dates among RSVH infants. HRU (hospitalizations, outpatient pharmacy fills, and visits for emergency department [ED], urgent care, wellness, other office or outpatient) excluded index hospitalizations and was assessed from 14 days post-index (or discharge if later) through 12 months post-index. Results were propensity score weighted to balance pre-index characteristics (age, sex, region, GA, birth hospitalization characteristics) across cohorts. Proportions were compared with chi-squared tests. Results Among all infants (all GA categories combined), the proportions of RSVH and UBH cohorts with follow-up hospitalizations or ED visits were greater (P < 0.05) than COMP (hospitalizations: COM +5.8%, +9.3%; MED +9.1%, +12.0%; ED visits: COM +15.8%, +16.2%; MED +14.4%, +17.1%). Follow-up hospitalizations in COM and MED and ED visits in COM declined with greater GA (Figures 1 and 2). HRU in other categories (fills, visits) was significantly (P < 0.05) greater among RSVH or UBH infants relative to COMP for nearly all GA categories in both COM and MED. Conclusion Infants hospitalized for RSV or UB in their first year of life had greater use of inpatient and outpatient resources in the 12 months following their initial hospitalizations compared with nonhospitalized infants. Inpatient care during follow-up was greatest among infants born at earlier GA. Funded by AstraZeneca Disclosures J. Ledbetter, AstraZeneca: Speaker’s Bureau, Speaker honorarium. L.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common pathogen of acute bronchiolitis in children, which sometimes triggers the development of recurrent wheezing and increases the risk of childhood asthma.Methods: We enrolled 425 children who were diagnosed with RSV-infected bronchiolitis at the department of pulmonology, Children's Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine in 2011. Long-term follow-up was performed to explore the consequence of bronchiolitis on subsequent recurrent wheezing and asthma.Results: Of 425 patients, 266 cases completed the entire follow-up, the mean age of onset was 4.9 (3.3) months, and the male-to-female ratio was 2.5. The mean birth weight of all patients was 3.22 (0.63) kg, and the number of patients who had a history of cesarean section was 148. According to the outcome of follow-up, 36 were in the recurrent wheezing (RW) group, 65 were in the asthma (AS) group, and the remaining 165 were in the completely recovered (CR) group. The age of onset was older and the birth weights were higher in the AS group than those in the CR group (P < 0.05). And the higher proportion of cesarean sections was higher in the RW group than that in the CR group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, we found a remarkable increasing of serum IgE in the AS groups than that in the CR group (P < 0.01). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the cesarean section was the risk factor for the development of recurrent wheezing and the higher birth weight was the risk factor for the development of asthma.Conclusion: RSV bronchiolitis might increase the incidence of recurrent wheezing and asthma. Allergic constitution was an important prerequisite for the occurrence of asthma, and related risk factor such as cesarean section can only increase recurrent wheezing to a certain extent within a certain period of time. And we also find higher birth weight and older onset age for those who develop asthma, which should be verified in the future.

AbstractPurposeThe PHIRST study (Prospective Household cohort study of Influenza, Respiratory Syncytial virus, and other respiratory pathogens community burden and Transmission dynamics in South Africa) aimed to estimate the community burden of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) including the incidence of infection, symptomatic fraction, and disease severity, and to assess household transmission. We further aimed to estimate the impact of HIV infection and age on disease burden and transmission, and to assess the burden of Bordetella pertussis and Streptococcus pneumoniae.ParticipantsWe enrolled 1684 individuals in 327 randomly selected households in two sites (rural Agincourt subdistrict, Mpumalanga Province and urban Jouberton Township, North West Province) over 3 consecutive influenza and RSV seasons. A new cohort of households was enrolled each year. Eligible households included those with >2 household members where ≥80% of household members provided consent (and assent for children aged 7-17 years). Enrolled household members were sampled with nasopharyngeal swabs twice weekly during the RSV and influenza seasons of the year of enrolment. Serology samples were collected at enrolment and before and after the influenza season annually.Findings to dateThere were 122,113 potential individual follow-up visits over the 3 years, and participants were interviewed for 105,783 (87%) of these. Out of 105,683 nasopharyngeal swabs from follow-up visits, 1,258 (1%), 1,026 (1%), 273 (<1%), 38,829 (37%) tested positive on PCR for influenza viruses, respiratory syncytial virus, pertussis and pneumococcus respectively.Future plansFuture planned analyses include analysis of influenza serology results and RSV burden and transmission. Households enrolled in the PHIRST study during 2016-2018 were eligible for inclusion in a study of SARS-CoV-2 transmission initiated in July 2020. This study uses similar testing frequency and household selection methods to assess the community burden of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the role of asymptomatic infection in virus transmission.RegistrationClinical trials.gov NCT02519803Article summaryStrengths and limitations of this studyPHIRST was conducted in urban and rural African settings with high HIV prevalence, allowing assessment of the effect of HIV on community burden and transmission dynamics of respiratory pathogens.Households were selected randomly to provide a representative sample of the community. Twice weekly sampling from each cohort of individuals for 6-10 months irrespective of symptoms allows estimation of community burden, household secondary infection risk, and serial interval including asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic episodes.Polymerase chain reaction testing of >100,000 nasopharyngeal swab samples for multiple pathogens (influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, pertussis and Streptoccocus pneumonia) allows detailed examination of disease burden and transmission and pathogen interactionsPHIRST was not powered to assess severe outcomes (i.e. hospitalisation and death).We only examined four pathogens, but other micro-organisms may be important. Samples have been stored which could allow us to implement broader multi-pathogen testing in the future.
