An incubation period refers to how long it takes from when someone is first exposed to RSV until symptoms appear. The incubation period for RSV is 2-8 days, but the illness usually begins 4-6 days after exposure to the virus. What Are Symptoms and Signs of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV...
If you test positive for RSV (or if you are experiencing symptoms after a known exposure), follow the CDC guidelines for safely isolating yourself until you recover. The CDC's current guidelines recommend that you: Isolate and take precautions to prevent spreading the sickness to others. Wear ...
Thus, the first RSV infection in the infant imprints immunity and may determine the outcome of disease particularly after reinfections. How OAS affects the original response to the infecting strain and subsequent infections needs to be better understood, particularly in RSV vaccine development. ...
and I think you're very correct in saying that. Pre-COVID and before RSV was very significant in adults, we used to just, in the middle of the epidemic, treat influenza based on clinical symptoms and not so much on a test after a while. How has that changed today with an epidemic?
Ten weeks after immunization with either AdC68-DS2 or AdC68 empty vector, mice were intranasally challenged with 3 × 105 PFU of live RSV Long strain. E, F All animals were carefully monitored for body weight changes, for viral loads in the lungs by qPCR and plaque assays, and for...

An estimated 3,000 to 6,000 people develop Guillain-Barre syndrome in the U.S. each year—either after being infected by a virus or linked to a vaccination—and it's more common in older people, according to the CDC. Most people fully recover, but some have permanent nerve damage. ...

Patient history showed no difference between the controls and RSV-infected infants with regard to a family history of asthma, second hand exposure to tobacco smoke, previous respiratory infections, infants with siblings or household pets (Table 1 and data not shown). In addition, a small number ...
