About

This article provides an update on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) for prenatal and primary health providers. It emphasizes the lack of data on RSV infection during pregnancy and highlights ongoing efforts to develop vaccines and monoclonal antibodies for prevention. Key topics covered include lower and upper respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, and the importance of addressing RSV in vulnerable populations. The authors underscore the need for further research in this area to enhance our understanding and combat the morbidity and mortality associated with RSV.
