must make reservation?

 

[addict951]

Suddenly out of nowhere they birthed this new transmittable terminology hor. First time I heard of only upon seeing that ad. I think it’s that pharma trying to increase revenue base. GSK if I’m not wrong?

 

[Mixxxy]

Oh I thought the TV ad by moh yet can't find much info when I googled. I was wondering why

 

[Suporter]

Must inform if no come the virus...?

 

[magna_strike]

Rsv is respiratory virus loh. It's seasonal also, similar to flu.

 

[buttbERry]

got a lot of people kn?

 

[dezzo69]

its basically a type of flu virus. whether or not they just reclassifying all the flu virus under one banner i dunno.

the main takeaway is there are many different strains of influenza today so categorizing them under rsv might be easier to inform public about flu pandemics.

Overview​

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes infections of the lungs and respiratory tract. It's so common that most children have been infected with the virus by age 2. Respiratory syncytial (sin-SISH-ul) virus can also infect adults.

In adults and older, healthy children, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) symptoms are mild and typically mimic the common cold. Self-care measures are usually all that's needed to relieve any discomfort.

RSV can cause severe infection in some people, including babies 12 months and younger (infants), especially premature infants, older adults, people with heart and lung disease, or anyone with a weak immune system.

RSV and COVID-19​

Because RSV and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are both types of respiratory viruses, some symptoms of RSV and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can be similar. In children, COVID-19 often results in mild symptoms such as fever, runny nose and cough. For adults with COVID-19, symptoms may be more severe and may include trouble breathing.

Having RSV may lower immunity and increase the risk of getting COVID-19 — for kids and adults. And these infections may occur together, which can worsen the severity of COVID-19 illness.

If you have symptoms of a respiratory illness, your doctor may recommend testing for COVID-19.

Risk factors​

By age 2, most children will have been infected with respiratory syncytial virus, but they can get infected by RSV more than once. Children who attend child care centers or who have siblings who attend school are at a higher risk of exposure and reinfection. RSV season — when outbreaks tend to occur — is the fall to the end of spring.
People at increased risk of severe or sometimes life-threatening RSV infections include:

• Infants, especially premature infants or babies who are 6 months or younger
• Children who have heart disease that's present from birth (congenital heart disease) or chronic lung disease
• Children or adults with weakened immune systems from diseases such as cancer or treatment such as chemotherapy
• Children who have neuromuscular disorders, such as muscular dystrophy
• Adults with heart disease or lung disease
• Older adults, especially those age 65 and older

Complications​

Complications of respiratory syncytial virus include:

• Hospitalization. A severe RSV infection may require a hospital stay so that doctors can monitor and treat breathing problems and give intravenous (IV) fluids.
• Pneumonia. RSV is the most common cause of inflammation of the lungs (pneumonia) or the lungs' airways (bronchiolitis) in infants. These complications can occur when the virus spreads to the lower respiratory tract. Lung inflammation can be quite serious in infants, young children, older adults, immunocompromised individuals, or people with chronic heart or lung disease.
• Middle ear infection. If germs enter the space behind the eardrum, you can get a middle ear infection (otitis media). This happens most frequently in babies and young children.
• Asthma. There may be a link between severe RSV in children and the chance of developing asthma later in life.
• Repeated infections. Once you've had RSV, you could get infected again. It's even possible for it to happen during the same RSV season. However, symptoms usually aren't as severe — typically it's in the form of a common cold. But they can be serious in older adults or in people with chronic heart or lung disease.

I only hear of RSV discussed (for many years already) in the angmo countries - usually before the winter season.
In Sg, first time in my life, recently hear of RSV being brought up.
Strange. Must be climate change issue!

All the while have, seasonal.

Flu like symptoms but not under influenza family

Rest water and symptoms management will do

 

[エステ好きな野郎]

RSV is not something new. There are more than 200 types of common cold viruses and RSV and covid are some of them. Most if not all have the same symtoms and normally they are self limiting. If you visit a doctor, they will usually prescribe medication to relief the symtoms. Only through a lab test can tell what viruses you caught but usually the doc wont advise you to do cos the treatment is the same (self limiting). Rest well and you will recover on your own like covid.
