Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that primarily affects the lungs and airways. It is highly contagious and typically causes mild, cold-like symptoms in most people, but it can lead to severe illness in infants, young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems. RSV is a leading cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children under one year of age. The virus spreads through respiratory droplets from coughs or sneezes, and outbreaks commonly occur during the fall and winter months. While there is no specific antiviral treatment, supportive care is essential, and recent advancements have led to vaccines and preventive treatments for high-risk populations.
