Abstract in brief
- RSV is a major cause of viral pneumonia in children, highlighting the need to understand its impact on health and mortality for effective intervention development.
- Data from Kenya (2010-2018) estimates that among children under 5, RSV causes significant outpatient and hospitalization rates, with specific figures for both serious and non-serious respiratory illnesses.
- The findings indicate a notable burden of RSV in young infants, particularly those under 6 months, with thousands of estimated deaths both in and out of hospital settings.
