Official Title: Validation of Nasal and Bronchial Absorption Sampling Methods for the Assessment of RSV Bronchiolitis in Babies and Children
Brief 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.
