A Community Health Concern: Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Children
چکیده انگلیسی

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a significant health issue. Nearly all children contract RSV by 3 years of age. This virus causes mild cold-like symptoms in older children and adults. However, in infants and toddlers, it causes serious lower respiratory tract infections. Recovery from RSV can be lengthy, and caring for an unwell child can become a burden for a family. Prevention plans for those children that are at highest risk have been helpful in reducing the incidence of RSV. The American Academy of Pediatrics outlines the use of Palivizumab as part of its RSV prevention guidelines.
