Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of respiratory syncytial virus infection in hospitalized neonates in Suzhou

RSV is one of the most common causes of ALRTI in hospitalized neonates. RSV affects neonates and carries the greatest impact in late preterm neonates with seasonal peaks in the autumn and winter months. Early identification of risk factors (as prematurity or elevated levels of hsCRP, mixed infections, or preexisting conditions or risk factors) can help make timely interventions and enable targeted preventive approaches to alleviate the burden.
