Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of lower respiratory tract disease in infants and young children worldwide. In temperate climates, RSV infections occur primarily during annual outbreaks, which peak during winter months . In the United States, RSV activity is monitored by the National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS), a voluntary, laboratory-based system. This report summarizes trends in RSV activity reported to NREVSS during July 1998 June 1999 and presents preliminary surveillance data during July 1-November 12, 1999, which show that RSV community outbreaks are becoming widespread.
呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)是全球婴幼儿下呼吸道疾病最常见的病因。在温带气候地区,RSV感染主要发生在每年的疫情暴发期间,冬季达到高峰。在美国,RSV活动由国家呼吸道和肠道病毒监测系统(NREVSS)监测,这是一个基于实验室的自愿性系统。本报告总结了1998年7月至1999年6月向NREVSS报告的RSV活动趋势,并提供了1999年7月1日至11月12日的初步监测数据,这些数据表明RSV社区疫情正在蔓延。
