Respiratory syncytial virus

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a virus that causes lung infections, (usually called respiratory tract infections).^[1] It is the major cause of lung infections and hospital visits in babies and children. There is a medicine that can help prevent the virus in babies that have not been born yet if the doctor is worried the baby may get the virus.
