Clinical characteristics and differential cytokine expression in hospitalized Taiwanese children with respiratory syncytial virus and rhinovirus bronchiolitis

Chun Yi Lee, Chia Hsin Sung, Meng Che Wu, Yu Chuan Chang, Jih Chin Chang, Yu Ping Fang, Nancy M. Wang, Teh Ying Chou, Yu Jiun Chan

Summary: This study investigated the clinical characteristics and cytokines/chemokines profiles among respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), rhinovirus (RV), and their dual infection in Taiwanese children with viral bronchiolitis. The findings revealed that RV bronchiolitis had comparable severity to RSV but was more common in older children with a history of recurrent wheezing and blood eosinophilia. Different viral infections elicited characteristic clinical presentations and immune profiles in bronchiolitis. The study also highlighted the role of the IL-33/IL-31 axis in the immunopathogenesis of bronchiolitis.

Acute kidney injury in infants hospitalized for viral bronchiolitis

Pierluigi Marzuillo, Anna Di Sessa, Raffaella Golino, Paola Tirelli, Maeva De Lucia, Giulio Rivetti, Emanuele Miraglia del Giudice, Stefano Guarino, Felice Nunziata

Summary: We investigated the prevalence and associated factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients with viral bronchiolitis. Among the retrospective enrollment of 139 children, AKI was found in 15 patients. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, preterm birth, low birth weight, and high hematocrit levels were significantly associated with AKI. This study highlights the importance of monitoring kidney function in viral bronchiolitis patients and identifying risk factors for AKI.

T-Cell Mediated Response after Primary and Booster SARS-CoV-2 Messenger RNA Vaccination in Nursing Home Residents

Ilaria Schiavoni, Annapina Palmieri, Eleonora Olivetta, Pasqualina Leone, Anna Di Lonardo, Alessandra Mazzoli, Carmine Cafariello, Alba Malara, Anna Teresa Palamara, Raffaele Antonelli Incalzi, Graziano Onder, Paola Stefanelli, Giorgio Fedele

Summary: This study aimed to monitor mRNA vaccine-induced T-cell responses in Italian nursing home residents and assess the interaction between T-cell responses and humoral immunity. The study found that before the booster vaccination, 31 out of 34 residents had a positive cell-mediated immunity response, which increased to 28 out of 34 residents after the booster dose. This suggests that the booster vaccine dose can restore spike-specific T-cell responses in SARS-CoV-2 naive residents who responded poorly to the initial vaccination.

Summary: Contradictory results have been reported regarding the production of interferon (IFN) lambda and IFN gamma in COVID-19 patients. This study aimed to investigate the expression of IFN lambda 1-3 and IFN gamma mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and bronchoalveolar lavages (BALs) of COVID-19 patients. The results showed lower levels of IFN lambda 1-3 and IFN gamma in PBMCs and BALs of severely ill patients compared to healthy donors. Secondary bacterial infections were associated with decreased IFN lambda in PBMCs but increased IFN lambda 3 in BALs. Dysregulation in IFN gamma, IFN lambda, and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) was observed in severe COVID-19 cases.

NRF2 Antioxidant Response and Interferon-Stimulated Genes Are Differentially Expressed in Respiratory-Syncytial-Virus- and Rhinovirus-Infected Hospitalized Children

Leonardo Sorrentino, Walter Toscanelli, Matteo Fracella, Marta De Angelis, Federica Frasca, Carolina Scagnolari, Laura Petrarca, Raffaella Nenna, Fabio Midulla, Anna Teresa Palamara, Lucia Nencioni, Alessandra Pierangeli

Summary: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human rhinovirus (HRV) are common causes of hospitalization in children, with RSV being more severe. The study investigated the interplay between interferon (IFN) responses and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) antioxidant activity in RSV and HRV infections. The findings suggest that reduced NRF2 activation in RSV-infected infants may contribute to the severity of bronchiolitis.

Summary: This study aims to analyze the differences in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) strains and their impact on bronchiolitis in children before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The results show that RSV-A was more predominant in the 2021-2022 season compared to other seasons, while RSV-B was more predominant in the 2022-2023 season. The RSV-A strains in 2021-2022 were genetically distinct from pre-pandemic strains, while the RSV-B strains in 2022-2023 showed clear divergence from those in 2021-2022. RSV-A cases in the 2021-2022 season had a lower need for O2 therapy and intensive care compared to other seasons, while infants infected with RSV-B in the 2022-2023 season were more frequently admitted to intensive care units and needed O2 therapy.
