Article Synopsis
- Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a significant cause of respiratory infections, and a study in Bulgaria aimed to assess its prevalence and genetic diversity alongside other viruses from 2020 to 2023.
- Out of 3,047 patients with respiratory issues, 59.5% tested positive for viral pathogens, with RSV being the second most common at 10.9%, especially affecting children under 5 years old.
- The research found a marked increase in RSV cases in the 2022-2023 season, with specific genetic strains identified, indicating a resurgence post-COVID-19 restrictions.
