Risk of nosocomial respiratory syncytial virus versus influenza among adult patients in acute care hospitals
Despite preventive measures, the incidence of nosocomial influenza was more than tenfold, and the proportion of nosocomial cases was almost threefold compared with RSV among hospitalized adults in acute care. Prevention and surveillance of both nosocomial influenza and RSV should be improved also among immunocompetent adult patients.
