David Duchovny opened up about his past troubles “reattaching" to his now-adult daughter, West, 25, after nearly losing her to RSV as an infant.
"When my daughter West was 9 months old, she got RSV, which kind of was in the news again a couple years ago," the actor, who shares West and son, Kyd, 21, with ex Téa Leoni, said. "I'd never heard of it until my daughter got it, and it's very dangerous for infants, and she went into the hospital and she had, nobody knew what it was. They thought maybe she had meningitis. She was non-responsive." Christina Dugan Ramirez is a freelance entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
RSV, or Respiratory syncytial virus, is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. However, it can be extremely dangerous for infants as it can cause breathing difficulties, according to the CDC.
