About the event

Respiratory Syncytial Virus - Epidemiology

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that affects the lungs and its bronchioles (smaller passageways that carry air to the lung) and usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. RSV is one of the most common causes of childhood illness, infecting most children by two years of age. RSV can also infect adults.

A report from the NICD suggests an intensive RSV season in 2022 with a higher and earlier than usual peak number of RSV-related hospitalisations in early April. This webinars will enable healthcare providers to be prepared and to respond to the surge in RSV cases.
