In the autumn of 2022, Denmark witnessed the second out-of-season epidemic of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) following widespread societal preventive measures implemented against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic during 2020 and 2021. Admissions peaked at twice the level of pre-pandemic seasons. Especially infants below 6 months of age were affected, but also adults over 45 years of age. The current epidemic is dominated by RSV subtype B, unlike the major RSV summer epidemic in 2021 dominated by RSV subtype A.
