This year, regions across the United States have seen a significant increase in respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, cases.

Host Suzie Lawry-Hall and Amy Dolinar, Enloe’s Director of Children Services, break down RSV, including causes, symptoms, and the impact it is currently having on our community.
