Respiratory Syncytial Virus

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that can cause mild cold-like symptoms, particularly in adults and older children. However, RSV can lead to severe respiratory infections, especially in infants, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems. RSV primarily spreads through respiratory droplets and can cause infections ranging from bronchiolitis to pneumonia. The virus is a leading cause of respiratory illness in young children and is particularly prevalent during the fall and winter months. Symptoms of RSV infection include cough, runny nose, fever, and difficulty breathing. Severe cases may require hospitalization, especially in infants. Preventive measures include frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and ensuring proper hygiene practices. There is ongoing research into developing vaccines and antiviral treatments for RSV. Given the impact of RSV, particularly on vulnerable populations, public health efforts focus on raising awareness, early diagnosis, and implementing preventive measures to reduce the burden of RSV-related illnesses.
