Early, surprising surge of RSV in kids has hospitals, medical centers concerned
Fox News
Hospitals and health centers across the country are reporting a surge in cases of RSV — respiratory syncytial virus, which is striking children nationwide. The common respiratory virus can be serious.
Most people recover within two weeks — but RSV can be serious, especially for the very young or very old and those with compromised immune systems. "All of a sudden our volumes have gone way up, and so we are very busy in the emergency room, which is increasing wait times." "If your child starts developing respiratory distress, breathing faster than usual … they need to be seen by a provider as soon as possible." Doctors advise a variety of measures to avoid illness, from handwashing to mask wearing.
"Hospitals from New York to Connecticut to Illinois to California to here in Texas and Oklahoma — we are seeing cases of RSV surge beyond what is expected for this time of year," reported Dr. Laura Romano of Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, a pediatric hospital at which patients are arriving from surrounding states.
