Summary

This study will compare the novel methods of NS and BS with the standard technique of nasophayngeal aspiration (NPA) and routine ETT suction. We shall assess the samples for diagnosis of RSV, viral load and immune responses in the airways of babies with RSV infection. We shall also assess the genetics of babies included in this study, to see if they may be vulnerable to RSV infection.

Eligibility Criteria

Group 1 and Group 2

Inclusion Criteria

  • Infants aged 2 weeks-24 months
  • Presentation to the Emergency Department with any upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) in the RSV season (Oct-March).

OR • Documented RSV infection, admitted to the paediatric wards at St Mary's Hospital.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Any local or systemic factor that would influence the safety of nasal sampling.
  • Bilateral indwelling nasal catheters or local nasal pathology preventing access for nasal sampling.
  • Bleeding disorders.
  • The baby is taking part in another interventional study.
