Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The epidemiology of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection has changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our objectives were to describe the RSV epidemic in 2021 and compare it with the previous years to the pandemic.
METHODS: Retrospective study performed in Madrid (Spain) in a large pediatric hospital comparing the epidemiology and clinical data of RSV admissions during 2021 and the two previous seasons.
RESULTS: 899 children were admitted for RSV infection during the study period. During 2021, the outbreak peaked in June and the last cases were identified in July. Previous seasons were detected in autumn-winter. The number of admissions in 2021 was significantly lower than in previous seasons. There were no differences between seasons regarding age, sex or disease severity.
CONCLUSIONS: RSV hospitalizations during 2021 in Spain moved to summer with no cases in autumn and winter 2020-2021. Unlike other countries, clinical data were similar between epidemics.

摘要：
背景：在COVID-19大流行期间，呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）感染的流行病学发生了变化。我们的目标是描述2021年的RSV疫情，并将其与前几年的疫情进行比较。
方法：在马德里（西班牙）一家大型儿科医院进行的回顾性研究，比较了2021年和前两个季节RSV入院的流行病学和临床数据。
结果：在研究期间，899名儿童因RSV感染入院。在2021年，疫情在6月达到顶峰，最后一例病例在7月被确认。以前的季节是在秋冬季节检测到的。2021年的入学人数明显低于前几个赛季。季节之间的年龄没有差异，性别或疾病严重程度。
结论：西班牙2021年的RSV住院时间移至夏季，2020-2021年秋季和冬季没有病例。与其他国家不同,不同流行病的临床数据相似.
