Natural History
RSV primarily infects the ciliated epithelial cells of the airways, causing bronchiolitis characterized by mucus in the airways, sloughed epithelial cell debris, and abundant neutrophils. The accumulation of mucus in the airways is a hallmark of RSV-induced lower respiratory infections (LRIs) and can lead to pulmonary obstruction.[1]
