Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the occurrence of nosocomial respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections and to compare their clinical features with those of community-acquired RSV infections. DESIGN: Retrospective. METHOD: Data were collected from the medical records of children younger than 12 months with RSV infection in the Department of Pediatrics of Sophia's Children's Hospital, Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in October-March 1992/'95. The diagnosis of 'RSV infection' was confirmed by a direct immunofluorescent assay and/or a viral culture on materials obtained from nasopharyngeal washes. A nosocomial RSV infection was defined as an infection which occurred more than 5 days after hospital admission for any underlying disease. RESULTS: During the 3 RSV seasons 1260 children were admitted. Of these 34 (2.7%) developed a nosocomial RSV infection. The number of nosocomial RSV infections decreased over the study period. At the department including the outpatient clinic 232 children were seen with a community-acquired RSV infection. Children with a nosocomial infection differed from children with a community-acquired infection only with regard to birth weight (2.5 kg versus 3.0 kg), cough (65% versus 92%) and feeding problems (100% versus 69%). Four children had bronchopulmonary dysplasia and nosocomial RSV infection; these required mechanical ventilation. CONCLUSION: The number of nosocomial RSV infections decreased over 3 years. The severity of nosocomial RSV infections was comparable with that of community-acquired RSV infections.

Abstract

A 13-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy developed acute respiratory insufficiency caused by an upper airway obstruction, which necessitated intubation and mechanical ventilation. Cultures from throat swabs from the girl and boy yielded Haemophilus parainfluenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae, respectively. Diagnoses of bacterial tracheitis were confirmed by tracheoscopy and both children were treated with antibiotics. After 11 and 4 days of mechanical ventilation, respectively, they were successfully extubated. No further complications were encountered. Bacterial tracheitis is a rare but significant cause of upper airway obstruction in children.
