The TT virus has been detected in children with acute respiratory disease.(Brief Article)
2003 APR 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The TT virus has been detected in the nasal passages of children with acute respiratory disease.
"The natural history and pathogenic potential of the recently identified TT virus (TTV) are currently a matter of intensive investigation. In an attempt to shed some light on these issues, nasal and blood specimens of 1- to 24-month-old children hospitalized with a clinical diagnosis of acute respiratory disease (ARD) were examined for the presence, load, and genetic characteristics of TTV," according to researchers in Italy.
"The results have indicated that at least in young children, the respiratory tract not only represents a route by which abundant TTV can be shed into the environment but also may be a site of primary infection and continual replication," stated F. Maggi and colleagues, University of Pisa, Virology Section.
"Although we found no compelling evidence that TTV was the direct cause of ARD in some of the children studied, the average loads of TTV were considerably higher in patients with bronchopneumonia ...
