Uncovering the Pathogenesis of Serious Viral Infections in Neonates and Infants: Comparison of Immune Reponses between Parechovirus-A3 and Enterovirus Infections
May 01, 2020
Graduate student Rie Habuka, Professor Akihiko Saitoh, and colleagues at the Division of Pediatrics, Niigata University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences in collaboration with the Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (Professor Yutaka Terao and colleagues) and the Division of Bioinformatics (Associate Professor Shujiro Okuda and colleagues), Niigata University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences conducted a study in which they compared and elucidated the differences between the immune responses of neonates and infants infected with parechovirus-A3 and enteroviruses. The results of this research may be useful for the treatment preventing serious conditions of these two infections. Furthermore, it may provide important clues to better understand why the currently prevailing COVID-19 infection causes serious clinical manifestations in infants.
