Description
This program will discuss Respiratory Syncytial Virus. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory viral pathogen that affects many patients, both young and old, each season. Infection can lead to significant illness, including hospitalization-related complications, post-discharge sequelae, and inpatient mortality. Over the past several years, there have been numerous advances in prevention of RSV for pediatric, immunocompromised, and geriatric populations. In addition, potential opportunities for treatment in some hospitalized populations continue to garner research focus and attention.
