Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major pathogen causing respiratory tract infections in infants and young children. The aim of this study was to confirm the genetic evolution of RSV causing respiratory infections in children at Daejeon in Korea, through G gene analysis of RSV-A and RSV-B strains that were prevalent from 2017 to 2019. METHODS: Pediatric patients admitted for lower respiratory...
