Abstrakt		Background. Infections caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) were followed from Jan 1990 to June 1995. 2844 clinical specimens were obtained from hospitalised infants and young children with pneumonia, bronchiolitis and bronchitis. Methods. 1609 nasopharingeal swabs (NPS), 635 throat swabs (TS) and 600 tracheal aspirates (TA) were tested by using direct immunofluorescence assay (DIF). Results. In this tudy, NPS were found positive in 28,3 percent TS in 7,9 percent and TA in 25,7 percent respictively. Usually infections of RSV have started in late autumn and lasted until May of the next year. An exception was in the year 1992 when RSV infections were detected also in the summer due to an epidemic in a refugee centre. Conclusions. NPS and TA specimens have been shown in our study to be more convenient specimens than TS specimens for testing by DIF.
Izvleček		Izhodišča. Predstavljamo rezultate laboratorijskih diagnostičnih preiskav okužb, ki jih je povzročil respiratorni sincicijski virus (RSV) v obdobju petih let: od januarja 1990 do junija 1995. Pregledali smo 2844 kliničnih vzorcev dojenčkov in malih otrok, ki so se zdravili zaradi pljučnice, bronhiolitisa in bronhitisa. Metode. Z metodo direktne imunofluorescence smo preiskali 1609 brisov nosnožrelne sluznice, 635 brisov žrela in 600 aspiratov sapnika. Rezultati. Antigen RSV smo dokazali v 28,3 odst. preiskanih brisov nosnožrelne sluznice, 7,9 odst. brisov žrela in 25,7 odst. aspiratov sapnika. Okužbe so se praviloma pojavljale od pozne jeseni do pomladi. Izjema je bilo leto 1992, ko so se okužbe v RSV pojavile v begunskih centrih tudi v poletnem času. Zaključki. Za dokazovanje okužb z RSV sta primernejši kužnini bris nosnožrelne sluznice in aspirat sapnika kot bris žrela.
