Respiratory syncytial virus infection

The Lancet, 1999
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), long recognised as the major viral pathogen of the lower respiratory tract of infants, has also been implicated in severe lung disease in adults, especially the elderly. This fact, and the demonstration that passive prophylaxis with either polyclonal or monoclonal antibody to RSV prevents severe lung disease in high ...

Respiratory syncytial virus infection in the elderly

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1996
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of lower respiratory tract infections in infants and children throughout the world. Respiratory syncytial virus infections in the elderly represent reinfections in the hosts who have had many prior episodes.

Management of respiratory syncytial virus infection

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2001
Although bronchiolitis is the most common viral lower respiratory tract infection in infancy and childhood, and the virus responsible (respiratory syncytial virus) was discovered half a century ago, there is no effective treatment available. The antiviral agent ribavirin has not lived up to expectations and should be reserved for selected cases ...
