| an unusual respiratory syncytial virus nosocomial outbreak in an adult psychiatry ward. | herein we report our experience in containing an outbreak of nosocomial respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) infection in a psychiatric ward in central taiwan during a non-widespread rsv seasonal occurrence. a total of 8 patients and 4 healthcare workers in the psychiatric ward developed febrile illness or upper respiratory tract infection symptoms between august 23 and 29, 2005. rsv was identified by either viral culture or reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) assay. rsv was is ... | 2009 | 19168963 |
| molecular epidemiology and phylodynamics of the human respiratory syncytial virus fusion protein in northern taiwan. | the glycoprotein (g protein) and fusion protein (f protein) of respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) both show genetic variability, but few studies have examined the f protein gene. this study aimed to characterize the molecular epidemiology and phylodynamics of the f protein gene in clinical rsv strains isolated in northern taiwan from 2000-2011. | 2013 | 23734183 |
