Incidence and Severity of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Pneumonia in Rural Kenyan Children Identified through Hospital Surveillance
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 10/07/09

Nokes DJ et al. – In this low–income setting, rates of hospital admission with RSV–associated pneumonia are substantial; they are comparable to estimates from the United States but considerably underestimate the burden in the full community.

Severity data suggest that the justification for RSV vaccination will be based on the prevention of morbidity, not mortality.
