respiratory syncytial virus infection in special care nursery. 19901970055
respiratory viruses in children admitted to hospital in edinburgh 1972-1985.the temporal incidence of respiratory viruses identified in children admitted to an edinburgh hospital over a period of 14 years, 1972-1985, is described, respiratory syncytial (rs) virus was identified most often, usually (but not in 1979 and 1985) with single peaks of activity in the winter months. influenza virus infections were seen in the winter and spring but we failed to find evidence of interference between rs and influenza virus. of the viruses studied, the parainfluenza viruses were th ...19872822808

virological studies of sudden, unexplained infant deaths in glasgow 1967-70.virus isolation tests on 72 sudden unexplained infant deaths and 34 cases of explained death showed that 42 and 29% respectively had virus infections. a wide range of viruses was encountered, mainly enteroviruses and adenoviruses, mostly from bowel specimens. the findings did not suggest that overwhelming virus infection was a common feature of sudden death in infancy.19724339953
aetiology and epidemiology of viral croup in glasgow, 1966-72.a retrospective study of 258 children admitted to ruchill hospital, glasgow, with croup between 1966 and 1972 indicated that the viruses most frequently associated with the syndrome were parainfluenza types 1 and 3 and influenza a. most cases were admitted in the late autumn and winter months, with a small peak in may and june. this seasonal distribution mirrored the circulation of the main causative agents in the community, parainfluenza 1 being principally associated with the autumn cases, inf ...19744371380
incidence, molecular epidemiology and clinical presentations of human metapneumovirus; assessment of its importance as a diagnostic screening target.human metapneumovirus (hmpv) is a recently discovered human paramyxovirus associated with a spectrum of respiratory symptoms from the common cold to pneumonia and bronchiolitis.200919819755
avian paramyxovirus type 1 infection of racing pigeons: 5. continued spread in 1984.the neurotropic disease of pigeons caused by a variant avian paramyxovirus type 1 virus was confirmed in 866 lofts in great britain during 1984, in comparison with 192 lofts during july to december 1983. the 1984 outbreaks were spread over 48 counties in england and wales and three regions in scotland. the main methods of spread of disease in the 1984 outbreaks appeared to be similar to 1983 with 574 of 866 probably resulting from contact with infected birds at, or travelling to, races or shows. ...19863705396

serologic study of phocine distemper in a population of harbor seals in scotland.a serologic survey of the prevalence of morbillivirus antibodies was conducted in a population of harbor seals (phoca vitulina) from northeastern scotland, where mortality was comparatively low during the 1988 phocine distemper virus outbreak. none of the 12 seals sampled before the epizootic were seropositive. thirty-five (52%) of 68 seals sampled after the beginning of the epizootic were seropositive, although there were significant age-related differences in both the number of seropositive in ...19921548798
morbillivirus infection in two common porpoises (phocoena phocoena) from the coasts of england and scotland.two common porpoises (phocoena phocoena), one found stranded on the isle of sheppey, kent, and the other in the moray firth, scotland, in late 1990, were examined post mortem. lesions of diffuse bronchointerstitial pneumonia were present in both animals; they were characterised by the infiltration of alveoli with leucocytes, macrophages and multinucleate syncytia, the necrosis of bronchial and bronchiolar epithelium, focal proliferation of type ii pneumocytes and occasional acidophilic cytoplasm ...19921441126
prospective controlled study of four infection-control procedures to prevent nosocomial infection with respiratory syncytial virus.to determine the most effective infection control procedure in preventing nosocomial infection with respiratory syncytial virus (rsv), we did a prospective controlled study of four infection-control strategies in four wards in a large paediatric hospital in the west of scotland. all children under two years old admitted to four general wards during three winter rsv epidemics (1989-92) were screened for rsv infection (by nasopharyngeal aspirate and direct immunofluorescence) within 18 hours of ad ...19921357462
