1 I “NUOVI” PATOGENI RESPIRATORI Susanna Esposito Istituto di Pediatria, Università di Milano Fondazione IRCCS “Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Mangiagalli e Regina Elena” Milano

2 NEWER RESPIRATORY VIRUS INFECTIONS Acute respiratory tract infections are responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality A variety of viruses are associated with RTIs Since the beginning of the millenium, the Paramyxoviridae, the Coronaviridae and Parvoviridae virus families have been expanded In the past five years, we have also become reacquainted with several influenza A virus subtypes that crossed the species barrier

3 Weeks % cases DISTRIBUTION OF RESPIRATORY VIRUSES DURING THE WINTER SEASON 2003-2004 (Children enrolled = 2,060) Esposito S et al. J Med Virol 2006 20032004

4 IN JUNE 2001 VAN DEN HOOGEN ET AL. AT THE ERASMUS MEDICAL CENTER, ROTTERDAM, REPORTED THE DISCOVERY OF A NEW RESPIRATORY PATHOGEN Van Den Hoogen et al. Nat Med 2001;7:719-24

5 hMPV EPIDEMIOLOGY  PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF STRAINS DEMONTRATED 2 MAIN LINEAGES OF hMPV (A, B) AND 4 SUBLINEAGES (A1, A2, B1,B2)  SEROLOGICAL DATA INDICATED THAT hMPV CAN CAUSE MULTIPLE INFECTIONS IN HUMAN BEINGS  STUDIES SUGGESTED A SEASONAL DISTRIBUTION  UNDERLYING CONDITIONS MAY PREDISPOSE PATIENTS TO SEVERE hMPV DISEASE  COINFECTION WITH hMPV MIGHT BE A DETERMINANT OF RSV DISEASE SEVERITY

6 DISTRIBUTION OF HMPV-INFECTIONS IN ITALY 2003-2004 49 (2.4%) of the cases were single hMPV infections: hMPV A in 24 (49.0%), hMPV B in 14 (28.6%) and untyped hMPV in 11 (22.4%) 11 children (0.5%) were co-infected by hMPV and another respiratory virus Esposito S et al., 25th ESPID 2007

20 SARS in pediatric age Under 12 years of age, SARS appears as a moderate disease clinically less aggressive than in adults Radiographic alterations appear low and not severe The main signs were cough and nasal congestion No death is observed in the first 12 years of age

21 FIRST DETECTION OF CORONAVIRUS HKU1 IN AN ITALIAN INFANT WITH BRONCHIOLITIS While studying the epidemiology of viral respiratory infections in Italy during the winter seasons from 2002-2003 to 2004-2005, we detected HCoV-HKU1 in the nasopharyngeal secretions of a pre-term infant hospitalized for bronchiolitis This finding not only allows a better definition of the disease’s possible etiology, but also confirms that coronaviruses can cause mild, as well as moderate/severe respiratory infections Bosis S et al. J Clin Virol 2007

22 HUMAN BOCAVIRUS (hBoV) Latest addition to the list of novel respiratory virus Described by Allander et al. in Swedish children in 2005 DNA virus closely related to the Bovine Parvovirus (BPV) Classified in the genus Bocavirus within the Parvoviridae

31 TAKE HOME MESSAGES: EMERGING RESPIRATORY VIRUSES Respiratory viral pathogens, old and new, continue to be an important threat to human health Diagnostic techniques remain crucial for the rapid identification of known and unknown pathogens It will be essential to further increase our understanding of virus epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation and host defense against infection
