What is RSV?
We understand how difficult it is to navigate respiratory viruses. Respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild cold or flu-like symptoms. This virus can lead to serious health issues for infants, children, and elder adults. Protect your family and walk into any of our EZCare or Alliance Xpress Care clinics for your RSV test.
RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways in the lung) and pneumonia (infection of the lungs) in children younger than one year of age in the United States.
