Abstract

Virus isolation attempts were made with nasopharyngeal secretions from 400 apparently healthy 0-5-year-old children of a semi-closed community. Repeated virus isolations were achieved in 25 cases subjected to periodic investigations in 1982-83. One-two reisolation(s), 1-5 months apart, of the initially detected viral agents could be obtained in 15 out of the 25 children. The following viruses were reisolated (in decreasing order of frequency): adenoviruses, respiratory syncytial virus, Coxsackie B1 virus, herpes virus type 1, parainfluenza virus type 3. The problems raised by the carriage of respiratory viruses in the nasopharynx of apparently healthy children are discussed.

Abstract

Virus isolation attempts were made with 500 nasopharyngeal secretion samples from apparently healthy schoolchildren aged 7-14 years, vaccinated by nasal route with an inactivated influenza vaccine and with 500 samples from unvaccinated schoolchildren of the same age. The number of virus isolates obtained was much smaller in the former than in the latter group (13 as against 50 virus isolates). The role of influenza vaccination in the protection of schoolchildren against respiratory tract infections is discussed.

Abstract

A number of 92 viral agents could be isolated from 1,000 nasopharyngeal secretion samples collected from apparently healthy schoolchildren aged 7-14 years. The following viruses were identified, in decreasing order of frequency: 42 influenza A/USSR 90/77 (H1N1), 20 adeno-, 20 parainfluenza, 8 Coxsackie B1 and 2 herpes virus strains.
