Abstract

Wheeze associated respiratory infection is an important cause of morbidity and
mortality in both the developed and the developing worlds. The commonest causative
agent is the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). Lower respiratory infection with this
virus is assuming great proportions and hence much work is being done to find a cure
or at least a suitable vaccine that will be available to everyone even in the poorer
countries. This article reviews the latest literature and attempts to set out some
guidelines to help inreduction of the problems associated with lower respiratory
infection caused by RSV in developing countries.
Key Words : Lower respiratory infection, Respiratory Syncytial Virus.
