[HTML][HTML] The burden of respiratory syncytial virus infection in young children
CB Hall, GA Weinberg, MK Iwane…�- …�England Journal of�…, 2009 - Mass Medical Soc
Background The primary role of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in causing infant
hospitalizations is well recognized, but the total burden of RSV infection among young
children remains poorly defined. Methods We conducted prospective, population-based
surveillance of acute respiratory infections among children under 5 years of age in three US
counties. We enrolled hospitalized children from 2000 through 2004 and children presenting
as outpatients in emergency departments and pediatric offices from 2002 through 2004�…
