BACKGROUND
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is one of the primary causes of acute respiratory infections worldwide; yet its impact on the broader respiratory pathogens during subgroup replacement events is inadequately comprehended. A comprehensive assessment of this viral dominance is required in Vietnam due to seasonal surges and altering lineages
AIMS OF THE STUDY
This study aims to quantify the ecological impacts of the transition of RSV subgroups in the respiratory system of hospitalized patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We conducted a 24-month prospective, multicenter surveillance (2024–2025) involving 5042 patients hospitalized with respiratory virus-positive infections across Vietnam. Viral pathogens and the RSV serotype (RSV-A/B) detecting were performed using a multiplex real-time PCR assay developed by the Vietnam Research and Development Institute of Clinical Microbiology (VCM)[1]. The data visualization and statistical significance for categorical variables was determined using R software. Information on the distribution of RSV by age, by month of the year, was also analyzed.
RESULTS
DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSION
The shift to RSV-A predominance in Vietnam is marked by an increased significant effect on the respiratory ecology. While infants represent the most vulnerable demographic in terms of quantity, the elderly face an extremely complicated microbial environment during peak seasons. These findings highlight the necessity for genotype-specific surveillance and age-stratified management methods in hospital environments to minimize the multifaceted burden of RSV
