Rate of seasonal spread of respiratory syncytial virus in a pediatric hospital
Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol.
1997 Nov.
Abstract
The rate of nosocomial respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection was measured in a large pediatric hospital using an incidence density method. The at-risk days for nosocomial RSV were summed during a defined winter period in which there were 54 admissions with community-acquired RSV infection giving a rate of 2.9 cases per 1,000 at-risk days (95% confidence interval, 0.3-5.4 per 1,000).
