自从采用非药物干预措施来控制 COVID-19 以来，欧洲呼吸道合胞病毒 (RSV) 的活动受到限制。 17个国家的监测数据显示，2020/21季节法国（≥12周）和冰岛（≥4周）RSV疫情出现延迟。法国和冰岛的 RSV 病例（主要是幼儿）与前几个季节相比年龄更大。我们假设未来 RSV 流行可能在通常的秋冬季节之外开始，并且规模比预期更大。 RSV 的全年监测至关重要。
Since the introduction of non-pharmacological interventions to control COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) activity in Europe has been limited. Surveillance data for 17 countries showed delayed RSV epidemics in France (≥ 12 w) and Iceland (≥ 4 w) during the 2020/21 season. RSV cases (predominantly small children) in France and Iceland were older compared with previous seasons. We hypothesise that future RSV epidemic(s) could start outside the usual autumn/winter season and be larger than expected. Year-round surveillance of RSV is of critical importance.
