This retrospective study aims to delineate and compare the clinical manifestations of adult RSV and influenza virus infections in the lower respiratory tract, thereby enhancing awareness of RSV lower respiratory tract infection and providing strategic insights for its prevention and treatment. ## Methods Clinical data from January 2019 to December 2020 were analyzed for 74 patients with RSV and 129 patients with influenza A/B virus lower respiratory tract infections who were admitted to respiratory or intensive care units. All patients had complete clinical data with positive IgM and negative IgG viral antibodies.
