Study Notes
RSV Infection
- RSV is a viral infection causing the cells lining the small airways to die and accumulate in the lower airways, leading to airway blockage.

- Bronchiolitis is a lower respiratory tract infection.
- RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis.
- Other viruses can also cause bronchiolitis.
RSV Risk Factors
- Young age, particularly premature infants and infants, are at higher risk.
