Additional Information
The Respiratory Viruses and Influenza Unit is the oldest WHO Influenza Center in our country (1968), designated as the National Influenza Center by the Ministry of Health in 1971, and is the national coordinator of the CCAA laboratories in the National Influenza Surveillance Network of the Influenza Surveillance System in Spain.
Its general objective is virological surveillance, detection and control of influenza in Spain. Since 1992, together with the Pediatric Service of the Severo Ochoa Hospital, a line of research has been developed based on the etiological study of viral respiratory infections in hospitalized children.
Since 2015, the La Paz Children's University Hospital and the Immunology Laboratory of the IIS-Fundación Jiménez Díaz have also participated, expanding the study to newborns and neonatal units.
To comprehensively study respiratory viruses and the response of the immune system in viral respiratory infections that affect newborns and pediatric patients.
Deepen the knowledge of the biological properties of the viruses involved in the disease: dependency/facilitation, balance between viruses and their adaptation in multiple infections, relationship with severity, existence of virome imbalance.
