Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in adults are generally mild, and no fatalities in uninstitutionalized adults have been reported. To our knowledge, we document herein the first case of fatal RSV pneumonia in a previously healthy elderly woman living at home, in whom complement fixation titers against RSV rose from less than 1:8 to reach 1:256 at death. Cytoplasmic inclusions characteristic of RSV were detected at autopsy.
成人呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）感染通常症状较轻，且未报告非住院成人有死亡病例。据我们所知，本文记录了首例在家居住的既往健康老年女性发生的致命性RSV肺炎病例，该患者针对RSV的补体结合试验效价在死亡时从低于1:8升至1:256。尸检时检测到了具有RSV特征的细胞质包涵体。
