It is expected that this observational study will provide further understanding of the clinical impact and true incidence rates of RSV-associated hospitalizations and medically attended acute respiratory illnesses or events leading to worsening cardiorespiratory status in adults with COPD and/or CHF who are at increased risk for serious sequelae associated with RSV infections. As part of the evaluation, this study will collect symptom and physiologic data, and blood, nasal swab, and sputum in order to investigate the relationship of RSV infections with clinical endpoints.
