About RSV 

RSV is a highly contagious virus that causes infections in both the upper and lower respiratory tract. RSV infects nearly every child at least once by the age of two and is a leading cause of hospitalization in children and in people with compromised immune systems. RSV infections typically result in cold-like symptoms but can lead to more serious respiratory illnesses such as croup, pneumonia, bronchiolitis, and in extreme cases, death. RSV infections in the pediatric population account for more than 175,000 hospitalizations per year in the U.S. In addition, RSV infection in infants has been linked to the development of childhood asthma.
