Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed RSV infections in children under 3 years old in 15 Pediatric Emergency Departments across different years (2019, 2020, 2021) to understand the impact of COVID-19 restrictions.
- There was a significant increase in RSV cases in 2021 compared to 2019 and 2020, particularly among 2-3 year-olds, with the peak occurrence happening a month earlier in 2021.
- Despite the increase in RSV admissions in 2021, the severity of the infections remained consistent across all years studied, indicating a shift in the age demographic affected by RSV post-COVID-19.
