Study design. To describe circulation of RSV in children in Cali, records of influenza‐like illness or severe acute respiratory infection fed to SIVIGILA, from two sentinel centers, were filtered and analyzed. To identify variability of RSV, samples from children younger than two, submitted to the LDAB service in 2016‐2018 for a respiratory virus test, were used. A proportion was typified to identify RSV‐A and/or RSV‐B; subsequent analysis in LDAB data subsets included the following: a) genotypification in 14% of typified samples by sequencing the hypervariable region of glycoproteins G; b) scrutiny of medical records to evaluate the effect of RSV variability in symptomatology
