Summary

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes sickness and deaths in older people every winter. This study will investigate how aging affects the body's immune response (body's response to disease) to RSV. About 2000 people, age 21 and older, who reside in the upstate NY area, will be recruited. Two groups of subjects will be studied. The 1st group of volunteers will be recruited prior to the start of RSV season in year 1 of the study. These volunteers will include healthy people and people with various medical conditions. The 2nd group of volunteers will be patients admitted to Rochester General Hospital for acute respiratory illness. Procedures will include drawing blood from a vein in the arm (2 tablespoons), collecting nasal swabs, and collecting sputum. Volunteers may participate in study related procedures for up to 3 years.
