ISOLATION OF THE RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS FROM A PATIENT WITH PNEUMONIA

Daniel S. Rowe M.D.1 and Richard H. Michaels M.D.1

1 The Babies Hospital, Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, New York, and Department of Pediatrics, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University

A virus with the characteristics of the respiratory syncytial virus was isolated from the throat of a 6-month-old infant with pneumonia. The illness was accompanied by an eightfold increase in complement-fixation antibody to the Long strain of the respiratory syncytial virus and a sixteen-fold rise in the homologous neutralizing antibody, indicating that the pneumonia was accompanied by infection with this virus. The relationship between this infection and the patient's pneumonia is possibly etiologic.
