B) "RSV is the major cause of hospitalization for African-American infants."
C) "RSV is the major cause of hospitalization for Native American infants."
D) "RSV is the major cause of hospitalization for Asian-American infants."
Answer: A
According to the National Center for Preparedness, Detection, and Control of Infectious Diseases, RSV is a major cause of hospitalization among Alaskan Native infants and is responsible for one-third of hospitalizations of children younger than 3 years in Alaska. Alaskan children hospitalized with RSV at any age are at a high risk for rehospitalization as a result of respiratory infection. Alaskan Native children living in rural areas have a higher rate of chronic lung disease; however, the relationship between RSV and chronic lung disease remains unclear.
