Abstract

This article aims to carry out an analysis of the current medical literature on respiratory syncytial virus, discussing its prevention. Respiratory syncytial virus usually starts like a common cold, with symptoms such as runny nose, low-grade fever and cough. The disease can progress to shortness of breath, caused by bronchiolitis, an inflammatory condition of the bronchioles, which are smaller branches of the channels that transport air to the lungs — the bronchi. There are several vaccines under development for respiratory syncytial virus, using different technologies. In May 2023, the United States approved the world's first vaccine against the disease, suitable for the elderly.
