Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index R RSV, respiratory syncytial virus Search RSV, respiratory syncytial virus RSV is the common abbreviation for respiratory syncytial virus, the causative virus for many common colds, but more importantly for the majority of cases of infant bronchiolitis . It occurs in outbreaks chiefly during the cooler months. In and of itself it is a harmless cold virus but is sometimes mentioned in news stories as a terrible new plague. However, it is one of the most common infections of childhood: one half of all children will have an RSV infection in the first year, and essentially all children have had an RSV infection by age 2. These respiratory infections cause an estimated 120,000 hospital admissions in young children in the US annually. Interest in the virus accelerated in recent years for two reasons: we developed a rapid viral identification test performed on bronchial secretions to confirm the the virus new therapies were developed to treat and now, to prevent the disease; the therapies and preventative treatments are all quite expensive and debate continues about how medically effective and cost effective they are In general, prematures and babies who had other significant respiratory problems in the immediate postnatal period are the target population for the preventative treatment strategies, as well as babies with immune deficiencies or

( references Source: compiled by the editor from various references ; see credits. Top Specialty Definition: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (From Wikipedia , the free Encyclopedia) RSV is a common infection of infants and young children. For most children, RSV produces only mild symptoms, often indistinguishable from common colds and minor illnesses. For some children, however, RSV can cause severe respiratory illness leading to hospitalization and, rarely, death. This is more likely to occur in patients that are immunocompromised or infants born prematurely. Anecdotally, RSV is also associated with childhood wheezing and asthma.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Respiratory syncytial virus infection Definition Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a virus that can cause severe lower respiratory infections in children under the age of two, and milder upper respiratory infections in older children and adults. RSV infection is also called bronchiolitis, because it is marked in young children by inflammation of the bronchioles. Bronchioles are the narrow airways that lead from the bronchi to the tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. The result is wheezing , difficulty breathing, and sometimes fatal respiratory failure Description RSV infection is caused by a group of viruses found worldwide. There are two different subtypes of the virus with numerous different strains. Taken together, these viruses account for a significant number of deaths in infants. RSV infection is primarily a disease of winter or early spring, with waves of illness sweeping through a community. The rate of RSV infection is estimated to be 11.4 cases in every 100 children during their first year of life. In the United States, RSV infection occurs most frequently in infants between the ages of two and six months. RSV infection shows distinctly different symptoms, depending on the age of the infected person. In children under two, the virus causes a serious lower respiratory infection in the lungs. In older children and healthy adults, it causes a mild upper respiratory infection often mistaken for the

However, there is no clear evidence that ribavirin produces clinically relevant benefit in RSV bronchiolitis. Ribavirin is given by mouth with peginterferon alfa or interferon alfa for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection (see Viral Hepatitis ). It is also effective in Lassa fever [unlicensed indication].

Topics A-Z Reference Center Search Disease Fact Sheet Series: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) What is respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)? RSV is a major cause of respiratory illness among individuals in all age groups. Among infants and young children, it is the most common cause of bronchitis, croup, ear infections and pneumonia. Since RSV is not a reportable disease in Wisconsin, the specific incidence is unknown. What are the symptoms of RSV? Infected newborn babies, in their first few weeks of life, may have minimal respiratory symptoms. Symptoms in young children include lethargy, irritability, and poor feeding. Older children and adults develop upper respiratory tract illness and occasional bronchitis. Chronic lung conditions and asthma may be aggravated by RSV infection. Infants, children, the elderly, and individuals with heart or respiratory problems or a weakened immune system are at increased risk of pneumonia and other complications from RSV infection. How soon do symptoms appear?
