摘要
RSV induces an acute viral disease with involvement of the respiratory tract. It can be notably life-threatening for infants but also for older adults. New RSV-subtypes are constantly evolving globally. The knowledge about epidemiology, hygiene measures, diagnostics and clinical feature is essential not only for the paediatrician. Vaccines or specific therapeutics are still missing. This article gives an overview with focus on RSV in adults. In addition, molecular pathological characteristics of the virus are explained, research approaches concerning vaccines and therapeutics are mentioned and current problems in management are discussed.
