Article Synopsis
- Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has seen a surge in cases among children following the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions, prompting a study in Yunnan, China to assess differences in RSV infection characteristics pre- and post-COVID-19.
- The research included 2553 pediatric patients, analyzing various data, including demographics and clinical symptoms to identify factors associated with severe lower respiratory tract infection (SLRTI) across the two periods.
- Findings revealed a shift in RSV seasonal patterns and an increase in severe cases, older patient age, and higher clinical and laboratory indicators in post-COVID-19 children compared to those admitted before the pandemic.
