Respiratory viruses associated with severe acute respiratory infection in children aged <5 years at a tertiary care hospital in Delhi, India during 2013–15
Background: With the increased availability of licensed vaccines for respiratory viruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and influenza virus, a better understanding of the viral aetiology of severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) among children could help in optimising the use of these vaccines. We conducted a study among children aged <5 years hospitalised with SARI at a tertiary ca…
Epidemiology of viral acute lower respiratory infections in a community-based cohort of rural north Indian children
BACKGROUND: In India, community-based acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) burden studies are limited, hampering development of prevention and control strategies. METHODS: We surveyed children <10 years old at home weekly from August 2012-August 2014, for cough, sore throat, rhinorrhoea, ear discharge, and shortness of breath. Symptomatic children were assessed for ALRI using World Health Organization definitions. Nasal and throat swabs were…
Evaluation of case definitions for estimation of respiratory syncytial virus associated hospitalizations among children in a rural community of northern India
BACKGROUND: The burden estimation studies for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) have been based on varied case definitions, including case-definitions designed for influenza surveillance systems. We used all medical admissions among children aged 0-59 months to study the effect of case definitions on estimation of RSV-associated hospitalizations rates. METHODS: The hospital-based daily surveillance enrolled children aged 0-59 months admitted with…
The cost of acute respiratory infections in Northern India
The cost of hospitalized ARI episodes in India is high relative to median per capita income. Data from this study can inform evaluations of the cost effectiveness of proven ARI prevention strategies such as vaccination
