Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the major cause of viral respiratory tract infections in infants and children [1, 2]. The highly contagious nature of the virus means that essentially all children have been infected with RSV by 2 to 3 years of age. Epidemics principally occur in winter and early spring.
