Article Synopsis
- Limited evidence exists about how much wheezing in young children is linked to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in their early years.
- A study tracked 2-year-olds in 8 countries until they turned six, assessing wheeze occurrences and calculating the population attributable risk (PAR) for those with previous RSV lower respiratory tract infections.
- Results showed that children with RSV-LRTI had significantly higher incidences of wheezing, suggesting that preventing RSV infections in early childhood could reduce wheezing episodes in later years.
Background: The choice of an appropriate probiotic for pediatric acute gastroenteritis (PAGE) can be confusing. Our aim was to compare the efficacy and safety of 2 probiotics (Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 vs a 4-strain mixture of Bacillus clausii O/C, SIN, N/R, T) for the treatment of PAGE.
Methods: A 2-arm parallel, randomized trial recruited children (6 months to 5 years old) with mild-moderate acute diarrhea, from 8 centers in Argentina.
Background: The true burden of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remains unclear. This study aimed to provide more robust, multinational data on RSV-LRTI incidence and burden in the first 2 years of life.
Methods: This prospective, observational cohort study was conducted in Argentina, Bangladesh, Canada, Finland, Honduras, South Africa, Thailand, and United States.
