Abstract
A small outbreak of respiratory syncytial virus infection in a continuing-care geriatric ward during the period December 1982 to March 1983 is reported. It demonstrates that respiratory syncytial virus infection can cause serious lower respiratory tract infection even in patients without any previous history of chest disease.Keywords
