Medical Conditions - Rsv

RSV or respiratory syncytial virus causes infections in the upper airway or lungs. Normally it infects the nose and throat with a mild cold, sneezing, and cough. One may recover in a week's time. But in young children and the elderly, it may spread to the lower airways causing inflammation in the bronchioles which are tiny airways inside the lung. Resulting pneumonia may be of serious consequences.
