What are the chances of it turning out to be RSV? Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infects all children sooner or later, and it is rarely more troublesome for a toddler than the common cold. RSV poses the biggest threat to babies between the ages of 2 and 7 months because it can cause bronchiolitis (a disease in which the smallest airways of the lungs swell and fill with mucus, blocking airflow) and pneumonia (an inflammation of the lungs). The biggest problem with RSV for toddlers is that it can also lead to ear infections How will I know if my child has RSV? Most likely, your child will initially show cold symptoms, such as a runny nose, a minor cough, and fever, and develop a more pronounced cough a couple of days later. At this age, RSV probably won't get any worse than that. Still, watch carefully for the following signs of respiratory distress in your child, and call the doctor immediately if you see any: Flaring nostrils and greatly expanding rib cage with each breath * Sucking in of the skin between the ribs, above the collarbone, or below the ribcage

She seems irritable and has been crying excessively. You call her pediatrician hoping to get the same pink, liquid antibiotic that cured your baby the last time she was sick. However, the pediatrician refuses to call your babys prescription into the pharmacy. Instead, the pediatrician asks you to bring your baby into the office right away. The pediatrician says that your baby may have a common cold, ear infection, or Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). You have never heard of RSV before. What is it?

Extractions: A Monthly Review for Health Care Professionals of the Children's Medical Center Volume 4 Number 9, September 1998 Palivizumab: Use in the Prevention of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections Marcia L. Buck, Pharm.D. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal population. It has been estimated that RSV infections account for nearly half of all hospital admissions for bronchiolitis in children and 25% of hospitalizations for pneumonia. RSV disease has a considerable economic impact. A recent study from Canada documented nearly $18 million spent in one year on the treatment of children less than 4 years of age with RSV lower respiratory tract infections. RSV Immune Globulin In 1996, polyclonal respiratory syncytial virus immune globulin (RSVIG or RespiGam ; MedImmune, Inc.) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for prophylaxis against RSV infection in susceptible patients.

http://www.chronimed.com/disease/synagis.asp

Extractions: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the most common cause of respiratory tract infections in children. Infants most at risk for RSV are those born prematurely, twins and other multiples, babies born with heart or lung disorders, and those in environments such as daycare, with heightened exposure to other infected infants. RSV season occurs from late fall through spring in most areas of the country. RSV is highly contagious and infects most infants at some time. It is often mistaken for a cold and children often recover without ever being diagnosed. In more serious cases, however, RSV causes inflammation and blockage that can cause severe and permanent damage. Click to learn more about RSV Used as a preventative medication, doctors prescribe monthly injections of Synagis for high-risk infants during RSV season. We will stock Synagis throughout RSV season and can deliver the medication within 24 hours when necessary. Chronimed can also provide Respigam, another medication often prescribed for prevention of RSV.

http://www.health-first.org/health_info/your_health_first/kids/rsv.cfm

Extractions: Health Information What is RSV? Small children and infants admitted to the hospital with respiratory illness often have RSV, and it's most common in early spring and winter. How can you get it? The virus is spread through contact with droplets of mucus and saliva during sneezing and coughing. The virus can live up to six hours on surfaces like table tops, toys, and pacifiers. So it's very important to wash your hands well to prevent spreading the virus to yourself and others. What are the symptoms? It starts with a low-grade fever and runny nose. Other symptoms include a sore throat (pharyngitis), symptoms of the "common cold," a cough, ear infection, redness and mucus in the eyes, wheezing, and chest congestion. These symptoms appear five to eight days after infection with the virus. A hard, repeated cough; faster, harder breathing; and vomiting with the cough may start a few days later. Infants may be irritable and difficult to feed. How do you know it is RSV?

Extractions: Ribavirin (tribavirin) inhibits a wide range of DNA and RNA viruses. It is licensed for administration by inhalation for the treatment of severe bronchiolitis caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in infants, especially when they have other serious diseases. However, there is no clear evidence that ribavirin produces clinically relevant benefit in RSV bronchiolitis. Ribavirin is given by mouth with peginterferon alfa-2b or interferon alfa for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection (see Viral Hepatitis) . It is also effective in Lassa fever [unlicensed indication].

Extractions: What is respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)? RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis (inflammation of the lower airways) and pneumonia in babies. It is an illness that often occurs in yearly outbreaks in communities and in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). In the United States, RSV is more common in winter and spring months. What causes RSV? RSV is spread from respiratory secretions through close contact with infected persons or contact with contaminated surfaces or objects. Infection can occur when infectious material contacts mucous membranes of the eyes, mouth, or nose, and possibly through the inhalation of droplets generated by a sneeze or cough. The incubation period (time from exposure to symptoms) is about four days. Who is affected by RSV?

Prevention Alternative names: RSV Definition: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a very common virus that causes mild cold-like symptoms in adults and older healthy children. It can cause serious respiratory infections in young babies, especially those born prematurely, who have heart or lung disease, or who are immunocompromised. Causes and Risks RSV is the most common respiratory pathogen in infants and young children. It has infected nearly all infants by the age of two years. Seasonal outbreaks of acute respiratory illness occur each year, on a schedule that is somewhat predictable in each region. The season typically begins in the fall and runs into the spring. RSV is spread easily by physical contact. Touching, kissing, and shaking hands with an infected person can spread RSV. Transmission is usually by contact with contaminated secretions, which may involve tiny droplets or objects that droplets have touched. RSV can live for half an hour or more on hands. The virus can also live up to five hours on countertops and for several hours on used tissues. RSV often spreads very rapidly in crowded households and day care centers. In infants and young children, RSV can cause

Extractions: If my baby is premature and at risk for RSV, how can I keep him from getting it? My baby seems to have a cold, but my doctor warned me that it might be respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) instead. Should I be worried? It depends. In most babies and young children, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is no more troublesome than a cold, although it's caused by a different type of virus. But it's also the most common cause of two lung disorders, bronchiolitis and pneumonia, in babies between the ages of 2 and 7 months. Bronchiolitis (a disease that swells the smallest airways of the lungs and fills them with mucus, blocking airflow) and pneumonia, an inflammation of the lungs, can be dangerous even deadly for very young babies. RSV can also lead to ear infections. Why is it such a potential problem for babies?
