Pseudo-outbreak of respiratory syncytial virus infection in a neonatal intensive care unit due to cross-reactivity of surfactant and a rapid immunoassay.

30 Aug 2009 We describe a pseudo-outbreak of respiratory syncytial virus infection in a neonatal intensive care unit at the White Memorial Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. Investigation of a reported cluster of cases in the early fall of 2007 ... Read more...

Detection by real-time RT-PCR of a bovine respiratory syncytial virus vaccine in calves vaccinated intranasally.

20 Aug 2009 Seventeen four- to five-week-old calves that were not shedding bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) were vaccinated intranasally against the disease and sampled by nasal swabbing on 16 different days for up to 20 days after vaccination. BRSV ... Read more...

A dose-ranging study of a subunit Respiratory Syncytial Virus subtype A vaccine with and without aluminum phosphate adjuvantation in adults > or =65 years of age.

Aug 2009 We studied the safety and immunogenicity of a Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)-A vaccine containing subunit antigens F, G and M in older persons, and its effect on influenza vaccine immunogenicity. In a dose-ranging, placebo-controlled, blinded ... Read more...
