Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) often causes respiratory illness in adults. Over 40 RSV vaccine and monoclonal antibody products are currently in preclinical development or clinical trials. Because RSV diagnostic practices may impact disease burden estimates, we investigated infectious disease physicians' RSV diagnostic practices among their adult patients.
•Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause significant morbidity and mortality in older adults.•RSV vaccines are currently in development for older adults; this national survey of infectious disease physicians found a low awareness of these vaccines.•Continued evaluation of RSV testing practices in physician groups that treat adults will inform the development of models that will accurately estimate RSV burden.
