Article Synopsis
- A study conducted in France during the 2023-24 RSV season analyzed the effectiveness of nirsevimab, a monoclonal antibody, in preventing RSV infections in infants, focusing on breakthrough cases.
- Out of 695 RSV-infected infants, researchers sequenced the full-length RSV genome of 545 infants, identifying that 48% had breakthrough infections despite receiving nirsevimab.
- While no resistance was found in RSV-A infections from nirsevimab-treated infants, two cases of RSV-B showed substitutions linked to resistance, indicating a potential concern for the antibody's effectiveness against this variant.
Objectives: Significant cultural variations exist in sleep practices for young children, including bedtime rituals and routines, soothing techniques, and cosleeping. This study examined parenting styles at bedtime and sleep behavior in a group of German infants. The results are compared with sleep practices of other western European countries.
