RSV has always been the main reason infants are hospitalized for respiratory issues, but doctors are increasingly seeing it paired with other viruses. While yes, it’s always been the top reason that babies end up in the hospital with breathing trouble, doctors are now seeing viral co-detections in about 30% of cases. Instead of fighting one virus, infants are frequently testing positive for two or three viruses simultaneously. This is forcing medical teams to rethink how they treat RSV, as a child’s lungs under multiple attacks need much more aggressive support than they did in the past.
Our podcast features interviews with healthcare professionals, discussions about medical careers, and insights into the healthcare industry.
