RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS : People at High Risk for RSV. Older Adults , Infants & Children, Symptoms & Care, Transmission and Prevention
Nearly all children in the United States have contracted the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which affects the lungs and airways, by the age of two. RSV infection symptoms in healthy individuals are often minimal and go away after a week.
RSV may seriously harm or kill those who are susceptible, such as preterm or very young newborns, kids with congenital heart problems or chronic lung disease, and seniors over 65.
RSV may potentially result in more serious infections including pneumonia and bronchiolitis, which affect the lungs' tiny airways and cause inflammation. It is the most frequent cause of pneumonia and bronchiolitis in infants under the age of one.
This RSV Short Book is fully equipped with everything you need to know about the RS virus including the symptoms,care, transmission, prevention and treatment.
