Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) plays a major part in causing lower respiratory tract infections in younger populations, especially in infants and pediatric patients, causing a higher rate of morbidity and mortality in the respective population, affecting 60% of the population globally. Typically, identifying the virus in the patient's respiratory secretions is important for laboratory validation of a clinically suspected RSV infection. Unfortunately, the only available preventive measure to lower the incidence for infants who are at high risk of RSV-induced hospitalization is palivizumab prophylaxis. Treatment strategies to manage RSV involve using an antiviral drug that is Ribavirin along with bronchodilators, nebulized adrenaline (epinephrine), and nebulized hypertonic saline. Providing patients with alternative treatment options like vitamin D-cathelicidin as well as probiotics and prebiotics can help reduce the intensity of the infection. This review article focuses on the epidemiology, clinical manifestation, prophylaxis, and available treatment options for RSV infections in infants, children, and young adults.
