摘要
This study used 459 prospectively sampled cord blood samples to examine the association between maternally derived respiratory syncytial virus (RSA-neutralizing antibodies and the RSV hospitalization season in Denmark. We found a clear temporal association and suggest that RSV-neutralizing antibody level plays a role in the RSV seasonal pattern. (J Pediatr 2009;154:296-8)
