[Usefulness of the microbiological surveillance of respiratory syncytial virus in Galicia (Spain): 2008-2017].

CONCLUSIONS: The RSV microbiological surveillance system, based on data from only 4 hospitals, showed very good sensitivity to predict the start and end of the annual RSV wave throughout the Galician region. These results support the use of this information to alert the entire health system of the onset of the wave. PMID: 30737055 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
