Tiivistelmä
Respiratory viruses have been recognised as causative agents for a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations and severe respiratory compromise in neonates during birth hospitalisation. Early-life respiratory virus infections have also been shown to be associated with adverse long-term consequences.Conclusion: Preventing virus infections by intensifying hygiene measures and cohorting infected infants should be a major goal for neonatal intensive care units, as well as more common use of virus diagnostics. Active virus surveillance and long-term follow-up are needed to ascertain the causality and exact underlying mechanisms for adverse long-term consequences.
