Burden and characteristics of Respiratory Syncytial Virus-associated respiratory tract infections in adult patients in the winter season 2023/2024 at the conservative emergency department of the university hospital in Dresden
RSV was less frequent in adults presenting to the emergency department during the 2023/24 season compared to SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza, but patients needed a higher level of respiratory support. Also, in-hospital mortality was considerable, making RSV-infections a relevant pathogen in adult patients presenting with respiratory tract infection to an emergency department.
