Respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, is a very common virus causing infections of the respiratory tract. It presents as common cold in adults, and can effect more severe conditions in infants and the immunocompromised. In mid-August 2021, reports emerged of a massive increase of hospitalizations of children due to RSV.
