RSV Risk: Understanding RSV-Related Hospitalization of High-Risk Infants

An In-Home Synagis Program for RSV Prevention in High-Risk Infants

RESULTS: Compared with published reports of office, outpatient, or clinicbased RSV prophylaxis with palivizumab, in-home prophylaxis demonstrated low incidence of total hospitalizations (11.4% versus 14.4%) and RSV-related hospitalizations (2.3% versus 4.8%).

The patient made a complete recovery. Extensive microbiological testing was only positive for RSV, making this the first reported case of adult RSV-related rhabdomyolysis in the literature.
