## Abstract Direct detection of respiratory syncytial (RS) virus antigen i n nasopharyngeal secretions (NPS) provides the most rapid diagnostic test for RS infection, but more sensitive methods might be more beneficial in the study of virus shedding. RS virus RNA was extracted from cells stored at

Previously healthy infants less than 6 months of age with severe respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis who required hospitalization were identified from hospital records. Infants had been treated either conservatively (control group, n = 19) or with ribavirin added to conservative management (st
Seven of 230 breast fed infants followed prospectively from birth through their first winter contracted RS virus infections. The colostral from five of the mothers of these infants contained antiviral IgA antibodies. In each case antibody levels were above the mean for a group of 36 mothers whose in
## Abstract In order to investigate the possible role of immunity in lower respiratory tract disease of infants produced by respiratory syncytial (RS) virus, 18 hospitalized infants were tested for cellβmediated immune (CMI) responses in a whole blood culture assay utilizing a gamma emitting tracer
The objective of this investigation was to measure the bronchodilator effect of aerosolized albuterol on infants with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-induced respiratory failure. Infants who required intubation and mechanical ventilator support for RSV disease were eligible for this prospective, n
