  • Screening and Immunizing for RSV in High-Risk Hospitalized Patients
    2023/12/13

    Healthcare professionals should consider RSV in the differential diagnosis of patients with respiratory illness, particularly during the RSV season. This is especially important in the inpatient setting to ensure proper isolation precautions for patients who are positive with RSV to avoid the spread of RSV in the healthcare setting. Similar to influenza, strategies to screen patients upon admission for active RSV infection and vaccine eligibility have the potential to reduce the burden of RSV in high-risk patients.
