Comparative Study
[Viral respiratory infections as cause of fever in hospitalized aged patients during a winter season].
In the geriatric units of the University Hospital of Saint-Etienne, 129 cases of fever (38 degrees C or more) were recorded prospectively during the 1995-1996 winter period in a population of 503 hospitalised patients (25.6%), and were investigated for the detection of a viral aetiology. ⋯ This study illustrates the high prevalence (10.9%) of RSV infections in elderly patients with fever during this season and the importance of hygienic measures to control the spread of nosocomial outbreaks.
