[Epidemiological characteristics of respiratory syncytial virus infection in children in Nanchang and its correlation with climate environmental factors].
In Nanchang, the RSV positive detection rate in children with acute respiratory infection is higher in males than in females. Among children of all age groups, the infants aged 0 to <3 months have the highest detection rate of RSV. RSV infection predominantly occurs in winter and spring periods. Lower temperatures, lower wind speeds, higher humidity, and elevated levels of PM<sub>2.5</sub> and carbon monoxide may increase the risk of RSV infection in children.
