Epidemiology and Clinical Impact of Parainfluenza Virus Infections in Otherwise Healthy Infants and Young Children < 5 Years Old
Open accessAbstract
Over a 20-year period in a population of otherwise healthy children, respiratory viruses have been cultured from nasal wash specimens from each child with a clinically significant respiratory illness. Since efforts are underway to develop vaccines for prevention of illness due to parainfluenza virus (PIV) type 3, the epidemiologic characteristics of PIVs were reviewed, and the population size necessary to demonstrate vaccine efficacy was estimated. A population of 1429 children was followed through early childhood. PIVs were isolated from 286 samples, 17.4% of positive viral cultures. PIV-3 was the most common: 10% of the children had at least one symptomatic, culture-proven PIV-3 infection. PIV-3 was endemic during the study period, while the other two PIVs, PIV-1 and -2, caused biennial flu epidemics. Only four PIV-related hospitalizations were seen. The efficacy of a PIV-3 vaccine could be demonstrated in a trial of 600 carefully monitored children vaccinated by 3 months and followed to 15 months of age.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
