albuterol and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections

albuterol has been researched along with Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections in 32 studies

Albuterol: A short-acting beta-2 adrenergic agonist that is primarily used as a bronchodilator agent to treat ASTHMA. Albuterol is prepared as a racemic mixture of R(-) and S(+) stereoisomers. The stereospecific preparation of R(-) isomer of albuterol is referred to as levalbuterol.
albuterol : A member of the class of phenylethanolamines that is 4-(2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)-2-(hydroxymethyl)phenol having a tert-butyl group attached to the nirogen atom. It acts as a beta-adrenergic agonist used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections: Pneumovirus infections caused by the RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUSES. Humans and cattle are most affected but infections in goats and sheep have been reported.

( Beck, R; Bentur, L; Elias, N; Godfrey, S; Shoval, S; Talmon, G; Tov, N, 2007)

( Joudrey, H; Langley, JM; LeBlanc, JC; Ojah, CR; Pianosi, P; Smith, MB, 2005)
"Bronchiolitis is the most common lower respiratory tract infection in infants, occurring in a seasonal pattern, with highest incidence in the winter in temperate climates, and in the rainy season in warmer countries."2.44Bronchiolitis. ( Lozano, JM, 2007)
"Albuterol was the most commonly used respiratory treatment, followed by chest physiotherapy, high-flow nasal cannula, and hypertonic saline."1.43A regional cohort study of the treatment of critically ill children with bronchiolitis. ( Canarie, MF; Carroll, CL; Faustino, EV; Giuliano, JS; Li, S; Pinto, MG; Sala, KA, 2016)
