Summary of Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Bronchiolitis causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, pathology

00:00:00 - 00:05:00

This video discusses respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and bronchiolitis, which is an inflammation of the small airways in infants and young children. RSV is typically diagnosed clinically, and treatment consists of supportive measures, such as supplemental oxygen and hydration. If a child is at high risk for serious complications, monthly injections of a premade antibody against RSV, called poly Visio mAb, may be beneficial.
