RSV

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common virus that affects all adults and children. However, in infants born prematurely (35 weeks gestation or less), RSV can cause them to be very sick.

​

RSV occurs most often in the months from fall to spring. If your baby was born premature within the last two years, he/she may be a candidate to receive a prophylactic medication, called Synagis, to prevent RSV. Contact our office for additional information.
