[Expert consensus on the passive immunization prevention of infant respiratory syncytial virus infection in China].

Abstract

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, which has the very heavy disease burdens, is the most common viral pathogen that seriously threatens the health of infants and young children. In order to better guide and standardize the clinical diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and immunization prevention and control of RSV infection in China, the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association jointly organized multidisciplinary experts to form a special working group, drawing on the implementation experience of foreign passive immunization prevention of RSV, integrating the existing evidence and the latest progress as a problem oriented, and putting forward the expert consensus on the passive immunization prevention of infant RSV infection in China in the future. The aim is to answer some professional questions about RSV infection and its immunoprophylaxis, especially passive immunoprophylaxis, in order to provide reference for the practice of immunoprophylaxis for professionals in medical institutions, disease prevention and control institutions and community health service centers at all levels.
