Asia's first WU polymatoma virus full gene mapping completed

the First People'sHospital in Wenling City, Zhejiang Province
and the Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences, the Clinical Research Center has recently been clinically experimental tests found that there are also previously found by European and American scientists WU polymatoma virus, and the virus has been mapped the whole gene sequenceExperts from the Institute of Virology of the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine said the discovery was a major breakthrough in the field of the virus and would facilitate the study and diagnosis of pediatric pneumoniaWu polymatoma virus is a virus that can cause lower respiratory tract infections in childrenIn May 2007, a team of Scientists from the United States and Australia first discovered a new virus using molecular virus screening methods in samples of sputum in the lower respiratory tractSince then, the virus has attracted wide attention from the international medical communityIn November 2007, the first people'sHospital in Wenling Cityin cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences Clinical Research Center on 278 hospitalized pediatric sputum samples of acute lower respiratory tract infection patients cloned and genetic sequencing, detected a case of WU polymatoma virus, this positive case is 3-year-old babychild, clinical manifestations of fever, cough, admission to check for bronchial pneumoniaPrior to this, there had been no studies in Asia on the biological and molecular biology characteristics of the WU polymavirusLower respiratory tract infection in children is a type of childhood infectionAccording to reports, clinicalabout 30% of children lower respiratory tract infection cause is not clearExperts believe that the discovery of WU polymatoma virus has laid a good foundation for the rapid diagnosis, treatment and etiology of the clinical causes of lower respiratory tract infections in children
