ABSTRACT
In 2022, Austria experienced a severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) epidemic with an earlier-than-usual start and increased numbers of paediatric patients in emergency departments. Nationwide multiyear genomic surveillance revealed that the surge was driven by RSV-B, however genotypes consisted of multiple lineages that were circulating prior to the pandemic.
