RSV in Adults
The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes cold-like symptoms in many people — but it can also be a life-threatening infection. Many people associate RSV with children, and for good reason: Most kids have had RSV by their second birthday. However, the virus can also infect adults. Learn the basics about RSV, including what you can do to prevent and treat it.
Managing RSV
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is very common in kids, but it affects adults as well. And certain adults — such as older adults, those with heart or lung disease, and those with a weakened immune system — are at higher risk of a serious case of RSV. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year more than 60,000 older adults in the United States are hospitalized due to RSV, and more than 6,000 die of the infection. Learn more about who’s at risk and what can be done to prevent and treat RSV infection.
