RSV is a seasonal contagious respiratory virus often encountered during the cold fall and winter months. It causes cold-like symptoms in most adults and older children. But in children under the age of 5 and older adults over the age of 60, the virus can be deadly. Knowing if you have RSV can help guide your physicians and healthcare providers.

Symptoms of RSV

In Babies < 6 Months Old
  • Increased irritability
  • Lower levels of physical activities such as kicking or rolling
  • Drinking less breast milk or formula than normal
  • Difficulty in breathing
  • Fever

Impact

Each year, RSV causes approximately 79,850 hospitalizations in children under the age of 1. 2-3 out of every 100 infants with RSV may need to be hospitalized. The risk of mortality is 0.5-1.7% in healthy infants but can be significantly higher in those with risk factors.

Risk factors

RSV can have severe symptoms and complications in infants who:

  • were born prematurely
  • are under 6 months of age
  • have neuromuscular diseases
  • have suppressed immune systems
In Children
  • Runny or stuffy nose
  • Loss of appetite
  • Drinking less fluids
  • Difficulty in breathing
  • A cough that may progress to wheezing.
  • Fever

Impact

The CDC estimates 50,000-80,000 children under 5 years of age are hospitalized for RSV-related complications yearly. Most older children show only mild symptoms unless they have preexisting health conditions

Risk factors

In older children, the following conditions caused RSV-related complications:

  • bronchopulmonary dysplasia sometimes with reactive airway disease
  • congenital heart disease
  • gastrointestinal disease
  • genetic disorders
In adults over 60
  • Runny or congested nose
  • Sore throat
  • Cough
  • Wheezing while breathing
  • Headache
  • Fever

Impact

Each year, RSV causes 60,000-160,000 hospitalizations and 6,000-10,000 deaths in older adults.

Risk factors

RSV can have severe symptoms and complications in adults with

  • chronic heart disease, particularly congestive heart failure
  • chronic lung disease
  • weakened immune systems
  • chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Asthma

Symptoms requiring medical attention or medical care

  • Excessive difficulty in breathing
  • Lips, face, or nails turning blue
  • Wheezing cough
  • Chest pain
  • Babies and children not drinking enough breastmilk, formula, or fluids
  • Infants breathing abnormally fast, with nostrils flaring and the chest appearing to “cave in” with the ribs sticking out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should take this test?
  • Anyone who is sick or showing symptoms can immediately take the test.
  • Anyone who shares a home or office with someone who tested positive should also get tested.
  • Anyone who is planning to travel.
  • Anyone who is planning to attend a large social gathering, such as a wedding.
  • Anyone who is planning to visit someone who may be vulnerable to the worst effects of RSV such as infants under 6 months of age, older adults who are over the age of 60, and those who are immunocompromised or take immunocompromising drugs.
  • Anyone who came in contact with someone who showed symptoms.
How soon can I test?

If you are showing symptoms, you can take the test immediately. If you have come in contact with someone who appeared sick, wait seven days before testing. The incubation period of RSV is 4-6 days.

What to do if I test positive for RSV?

If you are an older adult over the age of 60 or the parent of a young child under the age of 5 or an older child with comorbidities, contact your medical provider.

How long am I contagious with RSV?

According to the CDC, people with RSV start being contagious 1-2 days before the onset of symptoms and continue being contagious for 3-8 days after. However, some infants and individuals with weakened immune systems can be contagious for a month even when they are not showing symptoms.

How long does RSV take to get better?

You should start seeing improvement in your symptoms in one week, and most of the symptoms should be gone in two weeks. Sometimes there can be a lingering cough but even that should be getting better every day after a week of having symptoms. If you do not feel somewhat better after one week or feel your symptoms worsening, contact your healthcare provider.
