This year, regions across the United States have seen a significant increase in respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, cases. 

While this respiratory virus typically causes mild, cold-like symptoms, RSV can be serious for both infants and older adults. Locally, Enloe Medical Center has seen a similar increase in RSV cases and admissions to the medical center. 

Host Suzie Lawry-Hall and Amy Dolinar, Enloe’s Director of Children Services, break down RSV, including causes, symptoms, and the impact it is currently having on our community.
