Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (HRSV) is a serious threat to the population health. The elderly are one of the susceptible populations. The prevalence of HRSV in the elderly is generally higher than that in other age groups except children, which has gradually attracted attention in recent years. This paper reviewed the prevalence, common complications and major complications of HRSV in the elderly, briefly expounded the economic burden of HRSV infection, and proposed that attention should be paid to the disease burden of the elderly after HRSV infection, timely treat common complications, so as to reduce the occurrence of adverse survival outcomes and provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of HRSV infection in the elderly.
人呼吸道合胞病毒（HRSV）严重威胁人群健康，老年人是易感人群之一，HRSV在老年人群中的流行情况普遍高于儿童以外的其他年龄组，近年来逐渐受到关注。本文综述了呼吸道合胞病毒在老年人群中的流行情况、常见合并症以及主要并发症，回顾了HRSV感染造成的经济负担，提出要重视老年人在感染HRSV后的疾病负担，及时对常见并发症予以治疗，从而减少不良生存结局的发生，以期为老年人HRSV感染疾病的防控提供科学证据。.
