- Respiratory syncytial virus treatment
- Supportive therapy
- Hydration and supplemental oxygen.
- Routine use of Ribavirin not recommended. Ribavirin therapy associated with small increases in O2 saturation.
- No consistent decrease in need for mechanical ventilation or ICU stays. High cost, aerosol administration and potential toxicity[1]
- Note (1) In adults, Respiratory syncytial virus accounted for 10.6% of hospitalizations for pneumonia, 11.4% for COPD, 7.2% for asthma & 5.4% for CHF in pts >65 yrs of age [2]. Respiratory syncytial virus caused 11% of clinically important respiratory illnesses in military recruits[3]
- Note (2) Respiratory Syncytial Virus major cause of morbidity in neonates/infants.
- Note (3) Nucleic acid test now approved to detect 12 respiratory viruses (xTAG Respiratory Viral Panel, Luminex Molecular Diagnostics).
- Prevention of Respiratory syncytial virus
- 1. In children <24 months old with chronic lung disease of prematurity (formerly broncho-pulmonary dysplasia) requiring supplemental oxygen or
- 2. In premature infants (<32 wks gestation) and <6 months old at start of Respiratory syncytial virus season or
- 3. In children with selected congenital heart diseases.
- Preferred regimen for prevention of Respiratory syncytial virus: Palivizumab (Synagis) 15 mg per kg IM q month Nov.-April[1]
- Note : Significant reduction in Respiratory syncytial virus hospitalization among children with congenital heart disease[4]
