Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Data Archives
DSHS has combined the individual weekly flu, RSV, and COVID-19 surveillance reports into one report effective Friday, January 19, 2024. The combined report will be titled the Texas Respiratory Virus Surveillance Report. The combined report contains all the data from the three individual reports and will be posted every Friday on the Texas Respiratory Virus Surveillance Report page.

RSV Participants
RSV surveillance in Texas is based on data collected through the National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This is a laboratory-based sentinel surveillance system and participation is voluntary. Sentinel providers report both the number of RSV tests performed and the number of positive tests detected on a weekly basis. Testing is typically by antigen detection; however, viral isolation (i.e., culture) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing are also performed. For the 2016-2017 season, hospital and public health laboratories submitting RSV data are located in the following Texas counties:

Please note: RSV data are reported voluntarily by sentinel Texas laboratories on a weekly basis. Data are subject to change for the current week and previous weeks as reports are received. "Although NREVSS data provide a good approximation of RSV seasonal characteristics" at the national level, "they may not always reflect RSV activity at the state or county level1". This is especially true when the number of reporting laboratories is small, when laboratories are performing small numbers of RSV tests, or when reporting laboratories are not distributed throughout all geographic regions of the state. Additionally, the “percentage of positive detections reflects test ordering practices and might not directly reflect disease burden1".
