It is caused by an infection from the human orthopneumovirus. Usually, infection occurs because an infected person coughs or sneezes, and those infected droplets get onto someone else and are transported to their eyes, mouth, or nose. Touching a surface that has the virus on it and not using proper handwashing techniques after can also lead to transmission of the virus.

  • Rapid RSV antigen test with a nasal fluid sample

  • Mouth swab or blood test may also be done to look at white blood cell counts and search for viruses

In these cases, a fever reducer or pain reliever may be used to aid symptoms.

    Possible RSV Treatments When Hospitalized include:

    • oxygen

    • IV fluids

    • mechanical ventilation

    • tube feeding

    • mucus suctioning
