Regional-level results may not be reliable if the number of RSV tests performed each week is small or if reporting is inconsistent.
National and state RSV analyses typically rely on antigen test data. PCR testing for RSV is relatively new but is becoming more common.

Reporting information and data caveats
The start of RSV season is the first of two consecutive weeks with ≥10% of tests positive, and the end is the last of two
consecutive weeks with ≥10% of tests positive.
“The percentage of positive detections reflects test ordering practices and might not directly reflect disease burden.” Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. Respiratory Syncytial Virus-United States, July 2007-June 2011. Morbidity and Mortality
Weekly Report (MMWR). September 2011; 60 (35):1203-1206.
National and state RSV analyses typically rely on antigen test data.
Regional-level results may not be reliable if the number of RSV tests performed each week is small or if reporting is inconsistent.
There are no RSV data reporters in Regions 2 (North central/Northwest Texas), 4 (Upper East Texas), and 9 (West
Texas/Midland/Odessa).
RSV is not a notifiable condition in Texas. Sentinel laboratories voluntarily enter their RSV data weekly into the CDC National
Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS), and these data are compiled to create the Texas Weekly RSV
Report.
