Abstract
This dataset is acquired from the SPREDstudy which is part of a larger project titled SPReD (Studies of the Pathways of transmission of Respiratory virus Disease) which aims to advance understanding of the nature of spread of respiratory viruses. The study was conducted as a one-year surveillance of respiratory viruses in a rural primary school in Kilifi county, coastal Kenya with the main aim of characterising respiratory virus infection in the school setting and define the role of school-going children in the transmission of these viruses in the general community.
The main dataset contains 36 variables and 3384 observations. These data include records of anthropometric measures, acute respiratory infection (ARI) symptoms and laboratory test results from nasal samples obtained from symptomatic school children every week over one school year. Anthropometric measures including the age, grade, weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference, temperature and respiratory rate of each student were recorded every week from a random sample of symptomatic students in each grade. Acute respiratory infection symptoms were also recorded at this time. Nasal samples were screened for 15 virus targets using real-time PCR. Samples were considered positive for a specific target if the ct value was >0 and <=35. The dataset is used to describe the types of respiratory viruses circulating among school-going children.
