It is the commonest cause of severe respiratory illness such as bronchiolitis (inflammation of the bronchioles) in young children (aged under 2 years), and it is the commonest cause of hospital admissions due to acute respiratory illness in young children. RSV infections may be overlooked in older children and adults. Several studies have shown that RSV causes severe respiratory illness in elderly people and that outbreaks are associated with higher death rates. Peak numbers of RSV infections are reported in December and January every winter, although the size of the peak varies from winter to winter.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a viral disease of the respiratory tract that occurs primarily during the winter and early spring. Who gets RSV? RSV is very common; almost everyone has an infection with this virus in their first few years of life. RSV is a cause of the common cold in persons of most ages. However, in infants and young children, it is the most important cause of inflammation of the bronchial tubes of the lungs and of pneumonia. For children under six months of age it can be a severe disease, especially if they have a condition such as prematurity, heart disease at birth, respiratory disease, or a disease or treatment affecting the immune system.

    Extractions: What is RSV? How is RSV transmitted? ... Additional information Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a viral organism that can cause upper and lower respiratory tract infections. It most commonly causes bronchiolitis (inflammation of the lower airways) and pneumonia in children and infants under the age of 1. In the United States, RSV is more common during the winter and spring months. For most children and infants, RSV is a virus that can be managed on an outpatient basis. However, about 0.5 to 2% of children and infants who develop RSV may require hospitalization. The disease usually runs its course in one to two weeks. Children who are at risk for developing more severe cases or RSV include the following: Return to Top How is RSV transmitted?

    Extractions: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infects nearly all children by age 2 years, and it causes considerable illness and death in certain high-risk pediatric populations. Historically, treatment for RSV has been symptomatic, and developing a safe and effective vaccine has been a challenge. Therefore, research efforts have turned to passive immunization as the best option to control RSV. Palivizumab, a genetically engineered humanized monoclonal antibody, has been shown to reduce RSV-related hospitalizations significantly, with few adverse effects. It was approved for use in high-risk children in the USA in 1998 and in Europe in 1999; it is now approved for use in more than 45 countries. The efficacy and safety of palivizumab continue to be supported by both clinical trial and outcomes data.

    Extractions: From The Cochrane Library, Issue 3, 2005 Ribavirin for respiratory syncytial virus infection of the lower respiratory tract in infants and young children (Cochrane Review) Ventre K, Randolph AG ABSTRACT What's new in this issue Search abstracts Browse alphabetical list of titles Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 25 August 2004. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and is responsible for 100,000 hospitalizations annually. Ribavirin is approved for treatment of these infections, but its use is controversial because of questions about its efficacy, concerns about occupational exposure, and its high cost. Objectives: The objective of this review is to assess the efficacy of aerosolized ribavirin for infants and children with lower respiratory tract infection due to RSV. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library, Issue 1, 2004), MEDLINE (January 1975 to January week 3, 2004) and EMBASE (January 1990 to December 2003). We scanned reference lists of articles and contacted experts in the field.
