RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus)
RSV is a common virus that can cause coughs, colds, and in some cases, more serious lung infections like pneumonia or bronchiolitis. While most people recover on their own, it can lead to serious breathing problems in babies and older adults, and may require hospital treatment. In people with conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), RSV can worsen symptoms.
