Abstract
Introduction: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an important pathogen in infants, children, older adults, and those with comorbidities. Mechanisms involving viral proteins appear to underlie the ability of RSV to evade and modulate host immunity. We aimed to understand virus- and host-dependent factors regulating the development and severity of RSV infection, as related to the prevention and treatment of RSV-associated disease in adults, through a systematic literature review (SLR).
Methods: An SLR was conducted to identify immune mechanisms involved in the protective response to RSV infection in adults, and responses that may contribute to the development of severe disease. Concurrent searches (MEDLINE/Embase) using embase.com identified relevant papers published between 1990 and 19 April 2023.
Results: Of 1813 records identified, 113 were selected for review. Inclusion criteria were based on relevant patient populations, outcomes, and study methodologies. RSV is common, recurrent, and associated with high morbidity and mortality in older adults and people with underlying chronic diseases. Immune responses differ between younger and older adults. The approval of effective vaccines may protect older individuals from symptomatic RSV infection.
Conclusions: We established the complexities of RSV immune response, but further research is required to fully understand anti-RSV immunology.
期刊介绍：
Expert Review of Clinical Immunology (ISSN 1744-666X) provides expert analysis and commentary regarding the performance of new therapeutic and diagnostic modalities in clinical immunology. Members of the International Editorial Advisory Panel of Expert Review of Clinical Immunology are the forefront of their area of expertise. This panel works with our dedicated editorial team to identify the most important and topical review themes and the corresponding expert(s) most appropriate to provide commentary and analysis. All articles are subject to rigorous peer-review, and the finished reviews provide an essential contribution to decision-making in clinical immunology.
Articles focus on the following key areas:
• Therapeutic overviews of specific immunologic disorders highlighting optimal therapy and prospects for new medicines
• Performance and benefits of newly approved therapeutic agents
• New diagnostic approaches
• Screening and patient stratification
• Pharmacoeconomic studies
• New therapeutic indications for existing therapies
• Adverse effects, occurrence and reduction
• Prospects for medicines in late-stage trials approaching regulatory approval
• Novel treatment strategies
• Epidemiological studies
• Commentary and comparison of treatment guidelines
Topics include infection and immunity, inflammation, host defense mechanisms, congenital and acquired immunodeficiencies, anaphylaxis and allergy, systemic immune diseases, organ-specific inflammatory diseases, transplantation immunology, endocrinology and diabetes, cancer immunology, neuroimmunology and hematological diseases.
