    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
