Absence of association between cord specific antibody levels and severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease in early infants: A case control study from coastal Kenya
- Abstract:
-
Background: The target group for severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease prevention is infants under 6 months of age. Vaccine boosting of antibody titres in pregnant mothers could protect these young infants from severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) associated disease. Quantifying protective levels of RSV-specific maternal antibody at birth would inform vaccine development.
Methods: A case control study nested in a birth cohort (2002-07) was conducted in Kilifi, Kenya; ...
