Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in infants, older adults, and patients with weakened immune systems. Disease severity differs by underlying immunologic pathologies, with worse outcomes associated with progression from upper to lower respiratory disease. In this review we address the impact of RSV in immunocompromised populations, and discuss the limited available treatments and the potential impact of newer RSV prevention strategies on immunocompromised adults and children.
期刊介绍：
The mission of Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine (CCJM) is to provide its readers with up-to-date, practical, clinical information relevant to internal medicine, cardiology, and related fields. Consistent with this mission, CCJM focuses on timely review articles and other content that has a continuing-education orientation rather than on original research or case reports. CCJM authors, drawn from Cleveland Clinic and other top medical institutions throughout the world, are asked to identify new findings that are changing the practice of medicine and to advise readers how to apply them in daily patient care. Authors are chosen for their experience, acquired through caring for patients, teaching other physicians, and researching clinical questions.
