The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes an illness that usually resembles a moderate to severe cold and is very contagious. RSV most often resolves on its own and does not cause major health concerns. This infection can become a problem when it is severe or leads to complications. Babies (especially those born prematurely), people with immune system problems, and older adults have an increased risk of developing complications from RSV infection.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Find Your Way Child and Adolescent Health Topics A-Z Your Child Development ... UMHS Health Topics A-Z Overview Easy to catch-Easy to spread Respiratory syncytial virus is carried on secretions or droplets. Typically, RSV enters your body when these infected droplets or secretions come in contact with your nose, mouth, or eyes. Infected droplets are spread through the air when an infected person sneezes or coughs. If you are close enough (less than 6 feet) the droplets may reach your nose, mouth or eyes. RSV can also be spread by direct contact such as kissing, touching, or shaking hands with an infected person. RSV can even live for hours on a telephone, a countertop or on a used tissue. If an adult or child touches the telephone or countertop and then touches his mouth, eyes or nose, he may become infected with RSV. Once an adult or older child is infected with RSV, he/she can spread the disease to others for 3 to 8 days. Small infants with RSV may spread the infection for up to 4 weeks. An adult or child may have a mild RSV infection and not know it, but still spread the virus to others. He may begin spreading the infection even before he feels sick. And he can still be spreading the infection when he feels recovered. Symptoms Usually RSV causes only cold-like symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, and nasal discharge in adults and older children. It takes about 4 days after a child is exposed to RSV before he/she might become sick. Not all children who are exposed to RSV get sick.

V Sales, EEL Wang Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is recognized as an important cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. Vaccine development has been challenging in young infants and has required the advent of molecular technologies to optimize the safety profile, while maintaining immunogenicity of live-attenuated vaccines. Protein-based vaccines have been evaluated in clinical trials and are promising candidates for RSV-primed populations or for maternal vaccination to provide early life protection. This review provides a summary of the need for an RSV vaccine, as well as the challenges and progress in the vaccine’s development.

The incubation period (time from exposure to symptoms) is about four days. Who is affected by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)? RSV does not usually occur until a baby is 4 to 6 weeks old. However, because premature babies are born before receiving all of the mother's immunities, they are more susceptible. Babies can also be reinfected with the virus. RSV is slightly more common in boys than girls. Babies with chronic lung disease (a condition that may develop following respiratory disease as premature infants) are also at increased risk of developing RSV.

Prevention Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) Definition: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a very common virus that causes mild cold-like symptoms in adults and older healthy children. It can cause serious respiratory infections in young babies, especially those born prematurely, who have heart or lung disease, or who are immunocompromised. Alternative Names: RSV Causes, incidence, and risk factors: RSV is the most common respiratory pathogen in infants and young children. It has infected nearly all infants by the age of two years. Seasonal outbreaks of acute respiratory illness occur each year, on a schedule that is somewhat predictable in each region. The season typically begins in the fall and runs into the spring. RSV is spread easily by physical contact. Touching, kissing, and shaking hands with an infected person can spread RSV. Transmission is usually by contact with contaminated secretions, which may involve tiny droplets or objects that droplets have touched. RSV can live for half an hour or more on hands. The virus can also live up to five hours on countertops and for several hours on used tissues. RSV often spreads very rapidly in crowded households and day care centers.
