Incidence of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Community-Dwelling Adults Aged 18-64 Years Over 2 Seasons, 2022-2024, in a North American Community.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-acute respiratory infection (ARI) in community-dwelling adults after the Omicron variant of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown. Our aim was to assess the incidence of RSV-ARI in adults aged 18 to 64 years over 2 consecutive RSV seasons (October-April 2022-2024) in 4 US states.

Methods

This community-based prospective cohort study comprised 7501 participants in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Florida, and Arizona. We calculated RSV-ARI and RSV-lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) incidence and attack rates. We reported unadjusted incidence by age group, gender, race and ethnicity, Charlson Comorbidity Index, socioeconomic status, residential state, and rural/urban setting.

Results

Seasons 1 and 2 had 2250 and 2377 ARI
