CDC seeing "increased Interseasonal Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) activity in parts of the Southern United States".

(BRPROUD) – Did you know that “by their second birthday, nearly all children in the United States will have had respiratory syncytial virus,” according to Yale Medicine.

With that in mind, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is issuing a health advisory for part of the Southern United States.

The CDC defines respiratory syncytial virus this way:.

Respiratory syncytial (sin-SISH-uhl) virus, or RSV, is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms.

RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways in the lung) and pneumonia (infection of the lungs) in children younger than 1 year of age in the United States.
