Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a common cause of winter outbreaks of acute respiratory disease, causes an estimated 90,000 hospitalizations and 4500 deaths each year from lower respiratory tract disease in both infants and young children in the United States. Outbreaks occur annually throughout the United States, and community activity usually peaks within 1 month of the national peak. RSV activity in the United States is monitored by the National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS), a voluntary, laboratory-based system. This report presents provisional surveillance results from the NREVSS for RSV during July 2-December 9, 1994, and summarizes trends in RSV from July 1, 1990, through July 1, 1994.
呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）是冬季急性呼吸道疾病爆发的常见病因，在美国，每年估计有90000名婴幼儿因下呼吸道疾病住院，4500人死亡。美国各地每年都会爆发疫情，社区活动通常在全国疫情高峰后的1个月内达到峰值。美国通过国家呼吸道和肠道病毒监测系统（NREVSS）对RSV活动进行监测，这是一个基于实验室的自愿监测系统。本报告展示了NREVSS在1994年7月2日至12月9日期间对RSV的临时监测结果，并总结了1990年7月1日至1994年7月1日期间RSV的流行趋势。
