RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children younger than 1 year of age in the United States and easily spreads from person to person. You can get it from direct contact with someone who has it or by touching infected objects, such as toys or surfaces, such as countertops. People infected with RSV are usually contagious for 3 to 8 days. However, some infants, and people with weakened immune systems, can continue to spread the virus even after they stop showing symptoms for as long as 4 weeks. Washing your hands often and not sharing eating and drinking utensils are simple ways to help prevent the spread of RSV infection.
RSV vaccination clinical trials, like those at CNS Healthcare, can help you explore new options. Interested in a vaccination for RSV?

RSV is caused by a virus and spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus enters the body through the nose or mouth or very often through the eyes (when people rub their eyes with a hand that has touched infected secretions.)
1. Abnormally fast breathing (tachypnea)
2. “Caving-in” of the chest in between the ribs and under the ribs (chest wall retractions)
3. “Spreading-out” of the nostrils with every breath (nasal flaring)
