About Respiratory Syncytial Viruses (RSV)
Respiratory syncytial viruses (RSV A and B) cause lower respiratory tract infections in all age groups, with most infections in the cooler season.
RSV is especially important in infants, people with weakened immune systems and the elderly, who can develop bronchiolitis and pneumonia. It spreads through droplets and through direct or indirect contact with nose or mouth secretions.
