ABSTRACT
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) and hospitalizations in infants under 1 year of age, seriously jeopardizing infants′ health.Most hospitalizations (up to 80%) due to RSV-LRTI occur in otherwise healthy infants born at term.At present, no effective treatment and preventative measure against RSV is available domestically.Passive immunization with fully human long-acting monoclonal antibody Nirsevimab offers immediate protection for all infants experiencing their first RSV season with one shot, thus ushering in a new era of prevention of RSV infection among infants.
