摘要: Abstract Background : little is known about inflammatory mediators (IM); like cytokines, chemokines and receptors; in respiratory secretion as possible indicators of the severity syncytial virus (RSV) disease. Nor have systematic studies been published on ratios between IM such indicators. Objective to define role RSV Study design 46 infants aged 0–9 months with acute infections were studied. Prematurity (PM) and/or underlying disease (UD) present 11 them. The concentrations seven different measured by ELISA samples nasopharyngeal secretions (NPS), four cytokines; IL-1, IL-6, IL-10 TNF-α; cytokine receptor TNF-R1 chemokines; IL-8 RANTES. 21 calculated from these concentrations. patients assigned a clinical score (CS) ranging 0 3 according Results when 25 severe (CS 2–3) mild 0–1) compared respect ratios, three related disease: IL-1/RANTES, IL-8/RANTES TNF-R1/RANTES. When 12 16 disease, omitting more than 5 age PM UD, following TNF-R1/RANTES, RANTES/IL-10. Conclusion studied, TNF-R1/RANTES was greatest consistency.
