| viral coinfections in children with invasive pneumococcal disease. | respiratory viruses contribute to the seasonal pattern of invasive pneumococcal disease (ipd), but the impact of viral coinfections on the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with ipd have not been well defined. | 2010 | 20051928 |
| bat guano virome: predominance of dietary viruses from insects and plants plus novel mammalian viruses. | bats are hosts to a variety of viruses capable of zoonotic transmissions. because of increased contact between bats, humans, and other animal species, the possibility exists for further cross-species transmissions and ensuing disease outbreaks. we describe here full and partial viral genomes identified using metagenomics in the guano of bats from california and texas. a total of 34% and 58% of 390,000 sequence reads from bat guano in california and texas, respectively, were related to eukaryotic ... | 2010 | 20463061 |
| infection control of nosocomial respiratory viral disease in the immunocompromised host. | among immunocompromised adults, such as bone marrow transplant recipients, more than half of respiratory viral infections are complicated by pneumonia, with an associated mortality rate > 50%. nosocomial transmission of respiratory viral pathogens, such as respiratory syncytial virus (rsv) and influenza, in the immunocompromised patient has been reported frequently and usually occurs during a community outbreak. in view of the poor outcome in this subset of patients, intensive efforts should be ... | 1997 | 10868143 |
