متن کاملGlobal burden of acute lower respiratory infections due to respiratory syncytial virus in young children: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BACKGROUND The global burden of disease attributable to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remains unknown. We aimed to estimate the global incidence of and mortality from episodes of acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) due to RSV in children younger than 5 years in 2005. METHODS We estimated the incidence of RSV-associated ALRI in children younger than 5 years, stratified by age, using d...
متن کاملGlobal, regional, and national disease burden estimates of acute lower respiratory infections due to respiratory syncytial virus in young children in 2015: a systematic review and modelling study
