What is RSV infection?
RSV infection is caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSV is a common virus that primarily affects the respiratory system, particularly the lungs and airways. It is a leading cause of respiratory tract infections in infants, young children, and older adults. Common symptoms include coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat and fever. In most cases, RSV infection causes mild, cold-like symptoms.

Severe patients need hospitalisation for treatment.
