About The Study: In this study, most U.S. infants who required intensive care for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract infections were young, healthy, and born at term. These findings highlight the need for RSV preventive interventions targeting all infants to reduce the burden of severe RSV illness.
