ABSTRACT Introduction Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in young children. Additionally, RSV is associated with long‐term respiratory morbidities. This study evaluates acute and long‐term healthcare utilization (HCU) in infants hospitalized with RSV‐associated LRTI (RSV‐LRTI) compared to ...

ABSTRACT Background Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) causes significant respiratory infections, particularly in young children and elderly adults. Genetic variations in the fusion (F) protein can reduce the efficacy of vaccination and monoclonal antibody treatments, emphasizing the need for genomic surveillance of this virus.

The Medicaid Cost of Palivizumab [PDF]
To the editor—Borse et al. [1] describe an economic analysis of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prophylaxis for infants in Alaska's Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The authors should be congratulated for evaluating this important question with a robust analysis. As these infants are almost entirely insured by Medicaid, we wish to clarify the net Medicaid cost

Abstract Background Understanding infectious disease seasonality is crucial to inform immunization timing and risk communications. This study aimed to describe trends in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) seasonality in Japan by determining thresholds across 47 prefectures using public health surveillance data. Methods Weekly RSV cases per sentinel (CPS)
