Strengthening outpatient low respiratory tract infection surveillance to document the burden of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
The study protocol is designed with three key components: 1. Build on existing PARI outpatient syndromic surveillance by adding laboratory multiplex testing of LRTI samples (RSV, Influenza, SARS-COV-2) 2. Follow all bronchiolitis through the PARI RWE database and document "patient journey" for 5 years after first medical visit 3. Review the electronic PARI data of three previous seasons in order to document the impact of LRTI attributable to RSV in children \< 2 years in France prior to enhanced surveillance
