Implantation of the PVA implant for periods of up to 24 months produced no evidence of local or systemic toxicity. Additional studies are now needed to determine the efficacy of the device in its intended application.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an RNA virus spread via droplets. Children are predominately affected, with a significant burden in the under 1s. The burden of disease across both children and adults and management is rarely reported. We completed a retrospective study looking at the characteristics of all patients admitted with a positive RSV PCR throat swab were reviewed from a large tertiary hospital in the United Kingdom over the 2019/2020 season. Four hundred six paediatric patients and 81 adult patients were included. Ninety-four percent (76/81) of adult patients had comorbidities compared with 20% (81/406) of children. In adults Chest radiograph was normal in 46% (37/81). Thirty-six percent (29/81) showed consolidation. Viral coinfection was common among children 158 (39%). Forty (10%) of children were admitted to pediatric intensive care and 7 (9%) of adults were admitted to intensive care unit. No children and 6 (7%) of adults admitted with RSV died. RSV is associated with a significant morbidity. Mortality in adults admitted to Intensive Care Unit was high. Coinfection with other viruses is common in children. The use of antibiotics was higher than expected, although C-reactive protein and Chest radiograph suggested secondary bacterial infection is more common in adults.
