Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: For this study, 2 groups (A and B) are distinguished: • Group A: Suspected RSV (10 study sites): Children under 2 years of age admitted to an ICU or HDU who meet the WHO case definition “extended SARI”. All children will be tested for RSV. At 3 study sites, children from group A will also be tested for influenza. • Group B: Non-suspected RSV (3 study sites; 1 site per country): To determine whether the case definition “extended SARI” is sufficiently sensitive for detecting children with severe RSV infection, we will also test children for RSV who do not meet the case definition at 3 study sites: children under 2 years of age admitted to an ICU or HDU who do not meet the WHO case definition “extended SARI”.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Subjects can only participate when RSV or influenza samples are collected while admitted to the ICU or HDU at participating study sites. Subjects <4 days of age will be excluded.
