intensive care unit (PICU). The etiological pathogens and prognostic factors of severe ARDS of pulmonary origin in children with respiratory virus infections were prospectively investigated.</p></sec><sec id="ppul23694-sec-0002"><title>Methods</title><p>Enrolled children fulfilled the following criteria: (1) PICU admission; (2) age of 1 month to 16 years; (3) diagnosis of infectious pneumonia and respiratory virus infection; and (4) development of severe ARDS within 72 h after PICU admission. Pathogens were detected in the blood and tracheal lavage fluid using molecular techniques and a conventional culture system. The serum levels of inflammatory mediators on the day of PICU admission were examined.</p></sec><sec id="ppul23694-sec-0003"><title>Results</title><p>Fifty‐seven patients (32 boys; median age, 9 months) were enrolled. Multiple virus infections, co‐infection with bacteria/fungus, and bacteremia/fungemia were observed in 60%, 49%, and 32% of children, respectively. Adenovirus‐B, measles virus, and cytomegalovirus were detected predominantly in tracheal lavage fluid. There were no statistically significant differences between non‐survivors and survivors regarding the types of pathogen, incidence of multiple virus infection, gender, age, clinical features, and treatment. The serum levels of interferon (IFN)‐γ and the IFN‐γ/interleukin (IL)‐10 ratio were higher in non‐survivors.</p></sec><sec id="ppul23694-sec-0004"><title>Conclusions</title><p>IFN‐γ upregulation as detected on the day of PICU admission was found to be one of the possible prognostic factors affecting a fatal outcome.

nearly half died within the first 7 days after PICU admission. In this study, the survivors were PICU‐survivors who were discharged from the PICU alive. As shown in Table <xref rid="ppul23694-tbl-0001" ref-type="table-wrap">1</xref>, there were no significant differences in gender, age, PEEP value of the primary setting, clinical features, PRISM III score, treatment, multiple virus infections, ADV‐B infection, MeV infection, CMV infection, bacteria or fungal infection, and bacteremia or fungemia between non‐survivors and survivors. Differences were observed in the patients’ medical history, their underlying conditions, and PEEP value of the maximum setting. The day of illness of PICU admission was later in non‐survivors (day 11.5) compared to in survivors (day 8.0), showing a marginal significant difference (<italic>P</italic> = 0.080). This suggests a tendency for the admission of non‐survivors to be delayed.

Thus, differences in the levels of IL‐10, IL‐6, IFN‐γ, IL‐4, IL‐8, and HMGB‐1 were investigated. IFN‐γ, IL‐6, and IL‐8 are pro‐inflammatory cytokines associated with initiating an effective inflammatory process against infection. IL‐10 and IL‐4 are anti‐inflammatory cytokines that control and downregulate the inflammatory response. According to another classification, IFN‐γ is a type 1 cytokine, produced from <italic>T</italic> helper type 1 (Th1) lymphocytes and predominantly promotes cell‐mediated immunity. IL‐10 is a type 2 cytokine produced from <italic>T</italic> helper type 2 (Th2) lymphocytes and predominantly supports humoral immunity and antibody production.<xref rid="ppul23694-bib-0032" ref-type="ref">32</xref> Cytokines/chemokines are produced simultaneously and have counteracting effects.</p><p>Notably, the levels of IFN‐γ and IL‐10 and ratio of IFN‐γ to IL‐10 (IFN‐γ/IL‐10 ratio) in non‐survivors was significantly higher than in survivors (Table <xref rid="ppul23694-tbl-0004" ref-type="table-wrap">4</xref>). The levels of IFN‐γ were only associated with a fatal outcome and were not influenced by MeV, ADV‐B, or bacterial/fungal infection (Fig. <xref rid="ppul23694-fig-0001" ref-type="fig">1</xref>A). The IFN‐γ/IL‐10 ratio suggests a relative balance in the type 1 and type 2 cytokines.<xref rid="ppul23694-bib-0032" ref-type="ref">32</xref> The IFN‐γ/IL‐10 ratio was higher in non‐survivors, indicating a greater Th1 predominance in non‐survivors on the day of PICU admission. The ratio of IL‐6 to IL‐10 (IL‐6/IL‐10 ratio), which suggested a relative balance in pro‐inflammatory cytokines and anti‐inflammatory cytokines, showed no difference between non‐survivors and survivors. Higher levels of IL‐10 were observed in non‐survivors or ADV‐B‐infected children, and lower levels of IL‐10 were observed in MeV‐infected children (Fig. <xref rid="ppul23694-fig-0001" ref-type="fig">1</xref>B).

In the present study, we focused on severe ARDS of pulmonary origin in children with respiratory virus infection. Inflammatory responses in severe ARDS developed from viral pneumonia are thought to be related to both primary respiratory infection and systemic inflammatory responses. In this study, we prospectively examined the infectious pathogens and host inflammatory response by measuring the serum levels of cytokines, chemokines, and HMGB‐1 on the day of PICU admission.</p><p>For the etiologies of severe ARDS of pulmonary origin in children, we found that at least one viral genome was detected in TLFs from nearly all (60 of 61) children. This result is consistent with those of several reports revealing respiratory viruses as the major causative pathogens in children hospitalized with acute respiratory infection.<xref rid="ppul23694-bib-0033" ref-type="ref">33</xref> A high frequency of multiple virus infections (60%) and bacterial/fungal co‐infection (44%) was observed in enrolled children. Recently, it has become possible to detect multiple virus genomes simultaneously, with high sensitivity using molecular detection techniques, such as multiplex‐PCR. Therefore, we can now detect more virus genomes than was previously possible. This may be one of the reasons for the high frequency of viral infection and multiple infection.</p><p>Another possible reason is the measles outbreak, which occurred during the first half of the year of the study period (December 2013 to May 2014). Measles‐associated immunosuppression may have resulted in increased susceptibility to other virus infections and increased frequency of multiple virus infection.<xref rid="ppul23694-bib-0034" ref-type="ref">34</xref> Among the 57 enrolled children, 30 children were admitted during the measles outbreak, and 18 of 30 (60%) children were MeV‐positive. The detection frequency of MeV during the outbreak was significantly higher than after the outbreak (June 2014 to May 2015). However, the frequencies of multiple virus infection were 67% (20 of 30) of children during the outbreak and 52% (14 of 27) of children after the outbreak; this difference was not significant (Fisher's exact test, <italic>P</italic> = 0.29). Therefore, the frequency of multiple virus infection in this study was not significantly associated with the measles outbreak.</p><p>The most frequently detected virus genome in TLF was AdV‐B. In a previous study, we reported that children who died from measles‐associated pneumonia in our PICU during the same measles outbreak were complicated with ADV‐B (type 7) pneumonia.<xref rid="ppul23694-bib-0022" ref-type="ref">22</xref> ADV type 7 can cause serious lower respiratory disease, which develops into severe ARDS, particularly in hospitalized children and children with immunosuppression after MeV infection. Among ADV‐B‐infected children, 15 children were admitted during the outbreak and 17 children were admitted after the outbreak. There was no difference of the detection frequency of AdV‐B between during and after the measles outbreak (Fisher's exact test, <italic>P</italic> = 0.42).</p><p>PICU‐mortality was not associated with the type of causative pathogen, but rather with the inflammatory responses induced by host immunity. We evaluated the differences in serum levels of inflammatory mediators between non‐survivors and survivors on the day of PICU admission and examined if they were associated with the type of infected pathogens. We found that the serum levels of IFN‐γ were associated with fatal outcome (Fig. <xref rid="ppul23694-fig-0001" ref-type="fig">1</xref>, Table <xref rid="ppul23694-tbl-0005" ref-type="table-wrap">5</xref>A). Considering the limited sample size, the results of logistic regression analysis (IC95 [0.999‐1.039], <italic>P</italic> = 0.066) suggests that IFN‐γ is a predictor of fatal outcome. The AUC for a fatal outcome predicted by IFN‐γ levels was 0.778 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.656‐0.899, showing moderately accurate prediction. IFN‐γ is both a pro‐inflammatory cytokine and Th1 cytokine, which plays critical roles in immune responses against viral infections and directly inhibits viral replication. In the several studies of the inflammatory responses of infectious viral diseases, serum or plasma levels of IFN‐γ were found to be elevated in hospitalized children with MeV,<xref rid="ppul23694-bib-0035" ref-type="ref">35</xref> children with severe influenza,<xref rid="ppul23694-bib-0036" ref-type="ref">36</xref> and dengue patients.<xref rid="ppul23694-bib-0037" ref-type="ref">37</xref> IFN‐γ has rarely been reported as a prognostic mediator for ARDS, but it was reported as one of the independent outcome predictors in H7N9‐infected patients.<xref rid="ppul23694-bib-0017" ref-type="ref">17</xref> As shown in this study, particularly for children with severe ARDS of pulmonary origin with respiratory virus infection, we found that the serum level of IFN‐γ was a possible prognostic factor of fatal outcome.</p><p>Serum levels of HMGB‐1 were reported to be related to poor prognosis of ARDS patients.<xref rid="ppul23694-bib-0038" ref-type="ref">38</xref> In this study, the serum levels of HMGB‐1 were higher in children with bacterial and fungal co‐infections than in children with only viral infections, although, HMGB‐1 levels were not associated with a fatal outcome. The serum levels of IL‐10 were associated with not only fatal outcome, but also MeV infection and AdV infection (Fig. <xref rid="ppul23694-fig-0001" ref-type="fig">1</xref>B). Therefore, IL‐10 does not appear to be suitable as an independent prognostic factor of fatal outcome. The IL‐6/IL‐10 ratio was not associated with fatal outcome. The higher IL‐6/IL‐10 ratio on the day of PICU admission was thought to reflect measles‐specific inflammatory responses.<xref rid="ppul23694-bib-0034" ref-type="ref">34</xref></p><p>The present study had some limitations. First, our sample size was small. Second, the results, particularly the types of detected virus genomes, may have been affected by a concurrent measles outbreak. Third, we did not include data from healthy Vietnamese children of the same age as the controls. Thus, we could not compare the serum levels of each inflammatory mediator to those in healthy children. Fourth, PCR‐detected virus was not necessarily a causative pathogen of the disease. Persistent ADV and CMV infections can be established after primary infection and may be detected in healthy children.<xref rid="ppul23694-bib-0031" ref-type="ref">31</xref>, <xref rid="ppul23694-bib-0039" ref-type="ref">39</xref> Fifth, if the genomes of RNA viruses were degraded at the time of sample collection and if the primers or probe binding sequences were mutated, these genomes could not be detected. Sixth, other pathogens may have been present but not detected.</p><p>In summary, this is the first report to determine the profiles of pathogens involved in severe ARDS of pulmonary origin in children with respiratory virus infection. We found that IFN‐γ upregulation as detected on the day of PICU admission was one of the possible prognostic factors affecting a fatal outcome, rather than the type of pathogen. This suggests that modulation of the inflammatory response, regardless of the pathogen type, is critical for the clinical management of these patients.</p></sec></body><back><ack id="ppul23694-sec-0021"><title>ACKNOWLEDGMENTS</title><p>The authors thank Ms Fujiko Sekine from Luminex corporation Japan, for the technical support.
