Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that can cause mild to severe illness in people of all ages. The most common symptoms of an RSV infection are cough, runny nose, and fever. However, RSV can also cause more serious complications, such as tracheobronchitis, bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and apnea. RSV is especially dangerous for infants, young children, and older adults. RSV is a seasonal virus, with peak incidence in the winter months. The virus spreads through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus can also be spread through contact with contaminated surfaces. Treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms and preventing complications. This review will provide an overview of the medical significance, virology, pathogenesis, immunity, epidemiology, symptoms, risk factors, and complications associated with RSV, and the diagnosis and management of RSV infections.
