   Extractions: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of respiratory illness in young children. RSV infection produces a variety of signs and symptoms involving different areas of the respiratory tract, from the nose to the lungs. In adults and children older than 3 years, RSV usually causes symptoms of a simple upper respiratory tract illness or common cold . These symptoms include a stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, mild headache, mild cough , low-grade fever, and a general feeling of being ill. In children younger than age 3, RSV can cause a lower respiratory tract illness like bronchiolitis or pneumonia and in more severe cases can lead to respiratory failure. Symptoms may include high fever, severe cough, wheezing, abnormally rapid breathing, difficulty breathing, and a bluish color of the lips or fingernails caused by lowered levels of oxygen in the blood. In infants with severe RSV infection, there may be abnormal retractions of the muscles between the ribs, as the child struggles to draw breath into infected breathing passages. Children who were born prematurely, or who have preexisting lung, heart, or immune problems are at greatest risk to have serious complications from RSV infection.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Respiratory Syncytial Virus Clinical features: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia among infants and children under 1 year of age. Illness begins most frequently with fever, runny nose, cough, and sometimes wheezing. During their first RSV infection, between 25% and 40% of infants and young children have signs or symptoms of bronchiolitis or pneumonia, and 0.5% to 2% require hospitalization. Most children recover from illness in 8 to 15 days. The majority of children hospitalized for RSV infection are under 6 months of age. RSV also causes repeated infections throughout life, usually associated with moderate-to-severe cold-like symptoms; however, severe lower respiratory tract disease may occur at any age, especially among the elderly or among those with compromised cardiac, pulmonary, or immune systems. The virus: RSV is a negative-sense, enveloped RNA virus. The virion is variable in shape and size (average diameter of between 120 and 300 nm), is unstable in the environment (surviving only a few hours on environmental surfaces), and is readily inactivated with soap and water and disinfectants.

It can cause serious respiratory infections in young babies, especially those born prematurely, who have heart or lung disease, or who are immunocompromised. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top 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.

Among infants and young children, it is the most important 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? In their first few weeks of life, infected infants 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 an altered immune system are at increased risk of severe illness from RSV infection. How soon do symptoms appear?

    http://www.drreddy.com/rsv.html
    
    Extractions: Dr. Reddy's Pediatric Office on the Web TM Respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV , is a virus that attacks the mucous membranes of people's respiratory tracts (the nose, throat, windpipe, and the bronchi and bronchioles (the air passages of the lungs). (The term syncytial means that the virus causes cells in this case, cells of the mucous membranes to merge together into larger cells, which however don't work as well as the original non-infected cells.) The virus only infects humans. In older children and adults, it usually causes very bad colds with lots of clear nasal drainage, but it can also cause laryngitis and bronchitis, and can trigger or worsen attacks if you happen to have asthma or other chronic lung problems. Since you do not stay completely immune to RSV for life once you have had it, you can get it again and transmit it to other people as well. It usually takes 2 to 8 days after you are exposed to RSV before you become sick. Once you have RSV you will likely shed RSV particles for 3 to 8 days, but small infants who have been infected may be contagious for up to 4 weeks. In small infants RSV also causes mucus membrane damage and clear drainage. However, because babies and their air passages are small, an RSV infection can clog up the air passages much more easily.

    Extractions: What is RSV? RSV or respiratory syncytial virus , is the most frequent cause of serious respiratory tract infections in infants and children younger than 4 years of age. This is such a common virus that virtually all children have been infected by RSV by the age of 3. In most young children, it results in a mild respiratory infection that is not distinguishable from a cold. When does RSV occur? RSV occurs throughout the year and is most prevalent during the winter months. What are the symptoms of RSV? RSV causes nasal stuffiness and discharge, cough, and sometimes ear infections. It is usually self-limiting and does not require hospitalization or specific treatment-even in the majority of those who also have lower respiratory tract involvement. These children may have a low-grade fever for several days, respiratory symptoms that may last for 1 to 2 weeks, and a cough that sometimes persists beyond 2 weeks. Can RSV be serious? Yes. An infant or young child who is experiencing his or her first RSV infection may develop a severe infection in the lower respiratory tract that is best managed in the hospital. Approximately 80,000 children are hospitalized with these infections each year. Most commonly, the ones requiring hospitalization are newborns and infants and those who have another complicating or underlying condition, such as congenital heart or lung disease. How do I know if my child has a serious RSV infection?

The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a virus that causes mild respiratory infections such as colds and coughs in adults but in young children can produce severe pulmonary diseases including bronchiolitis and pneumonia RSV is an RNA virus. It is unstable in the environment and survives only a few hours on environmental surfaces. The virus is readily inactivated with soap and water and disinfectants.   When does RSV infection occur and who gets it? Infection with RSV is seasonal. In temperate climates, RSV infections usually occur during the late fall, winter, or early spring months. There are annual community outbreaks of RSV infection that often last 4 to 6 months. More than half of all infants are exposed to RSV by their first birthday. Many have few or no symptoms. However, some infants with RSV become very ill. RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia among infants and children under the age of one.

The symptoms are the same as the common cold, and for most older children, that's as serious as it gets. This is not the case for newborns and infants. Due to their small size, newborn and infants are susceptible to the excess mucus produced in response to the RSV infection, clogging and blocking tiny airways. RSV accounts for 100,000 hospitalizations and 4,500 deaths of infants and children each year . RSV is also responsible for 50-75% of bronchiolitis and 20-25% of pneumonias in the very young Its relationship to Asthma There's also evidence that RSV is linked to the development of asthma in children. Children who've been diagnosed with RSV and needed medical attention are 33-50% more likely to have asthma like symptoms of wheezing later in life. Severe cases of RSV in children over the age of one are more likely to be diagnosed with asthma. It's debatable whether these children's asthma is precipitated by RSV, or the children's genetic predisposition to asthma makes them more susceptible to RSV

    http://www.ds-health.com/rsv.htm
    
    Extractions: May 2001 The Respiratory Syncytial Virus is a major cause of respiratory illness in all ages. In adults, it tends to cause mild cold symptoms; in school-aged children, it can cause a cold and bronchial cough; in infants and toddlers it can cause bronchiolitis (inflammation of the smaller airways of the lungs) or pneumonia. It has also been found to be a frequent cause of middle ear infections (otitis media) in preschool children. Reinfection throughout life is common. There is concern also that RSV infection in the first year of life may increase the risk of the baby developing asthma later in childhood. RSV epidemics are common in the late fall to early spring, and spread among households, day care and schools is rampant. From the time of exposure to infection is 4 to 6 days; after an infection, the person may be still contagious for a week. RSV is especially dangerous in infants less than one year old, children with asthma or other lung disorders, or heart disease. It is a major cause of hospitalizations of children in the winter months. The symptoms of bronchiolitis include a hacky cough and a wheeze on exhalation (a high pitched noise from the chest). There is typically fever and a cloudy nasal drainage. The infant is irritable and oral intake decreases. Danger signs include a respiratory rate over 40 breaths per minute, a bluish discoloration of the skin around the mouth, retractions of the skin between the ribs (this indicates the infant is working so hard to breathe that he is using the muscles between the ribs to help), and/or decreased fluid intake to the point of dehydration.

    Extractions: The most severe cases of RSV are in babies under 6 months old because their lungs aren't fully developed yet and the damage from these infections can linger. Premature babies, twins and other multiples, and babies born with respiratory problems or congenital heart disease are at particularly high risk for contracting a serious infection. Research suggests that babies infected with RSV are more likely to develop asthma and other respiratory problems later in life.
