Many parents are alarmed by the currently very high rate of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in small children. How to recognize the first signs and how to treat or prevent a disease.
The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a widespread pathogen and causes acute illnesses of the upper and lower respiratory tract (from the nose to the lungs). Although an infection is usually relatively harmless in older children and adults, it can be very dangerous for babies, especially premature babies, as well as small children with previous heart and lung disease or those with weak immune systems. A severe course sometimes leads to inflammation of the small bronchi, severe pneumonia, severe shortness of breath and even death.
