The California Emerging Infections Program (CEIP) is collaborating with KPNC on prospective and retrospective collection of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) data for reporting to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Children less than two years old hospitalized with a positive RSV test within 7 days of admission who reside in Alameda, Contra Costa, or San Francisco counties will be identified by data queries and a weekly report will be delivered to the CEIP RSV surveillance coordinator via encrypted email. Medical chart reviews of all identified laboratory-confirmed cases also will be conducted to collect relevant clinical and epidemiologic information. Surveillance will be conducted at all hospitals that admit pediatric patients within the CEIP catchment area.
