Description
Kansak Boonpattharatthiti and co-authors price the national toll of respiratory syncytial virus in Thailand for twenty twenty-three, in work from twenty twenty-six. The virus hospitalises children and elders, yet national costs were unmeasured. Sentinel sites across the country supply infection rates. Age-adjusted incidence scales those rates to the whole population. Bottom-up micro-costing tallies medical and wider social costs.
Over a hundred twenty thousand cases are estimated for the year. About a sixth need hospital care, and over a thousand die early. Total burden reaches a small but real slice of national output. Lost productivity from early deaths drives most of the bill. Direct medical costs form only a minor share by comparison. Prevention policy gains a firm economic footing here.
