How frequently does RSV infection occur?
In England, 28 per 1000 hospital admissions in children aged under 1 year were attributed to RSV each year, while in children aged 1 to 4 years, the figure was 1 per 1000 hospital each year. RSV infections in elderly people probably contribute to the number of admissions to hospital, but the overall impact of RSV infections in the elderly on health care services in the UK has not been fully determined.
