RSV is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. Most people recover in a week or two, but RSV can be serious, especially for infants and older adults. RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small
airways in the lung) and pneumonia (infection of the lungs) in children younger than 1 year of age.
