Abstract
Although antigen detection was the predominant test type reported in the sample of US hospital laboratories for RSV testing, PCR use increased to >20% of tests reported. These results demonstrate the increasing contribution of PCR to RSV surveillance. RSV surveillance systems relying solely on antigen detection results will not capture an increasing proportion of RSV test results.
