Abstract
Nosocomial respiratory tract infections due to respiratory syncytial virus are common among hospitalized children. The overall prevention is based on 3 points: prevention of person-to-person viral transmission, infection surveillance and staff education. Handwashing is the main protective attitude. Other measures such as gloving, gowning and wearing masks and goggles are discussed. Changes in hospital organisation during epidemic periodes must also be considered.
