Sequelae of respiratory syncytial virus infections. A role for intervention studies
CE Long, JT McBride and CB Hall
Department of Pediatrics, University of Rochester Medical Center, NY 14642, USA.
The association between respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in
infancy and respiratory abnormalities later in life has been attributed
both to a direct effect of the infection itself and to an inherent
susceptibility. Observational studies do not allow a rigorous test of these
hypotheses. Respiratory syncytial virus infection is universal in the first
years of life and no uninfected control group exists. Randomized,
controlled trials using new prophylactic agents such as vaccines or
specific therapeutic agents will provide a powerful test of the
relationship between RSV infection and long-term respiratory sequelae.
