- Abstract
A nationwide cohort study investigated the association between prior respiratory syncytial viral (RSV) infection and the severity of COVID-19. The study found that individuals with a history of RSV infection had a higher susceptibility to COVID-19, increased risk of hospitalization, and greater severity of the disease. This association was particularly pronounced in older individuals and those with underlying conditions such as diabetes and congestive heart failure. The study suggests that recent RSV infection contributes to the burden of COVID-19 and highlights the potential benefits of RSV vaccination in mitigating the clinical course of COVID-19.
