RSV cases are rising across the UK, particularly in the youngest age group.
The number of children contracting a serious respiratory virus is rising as parents are being urged to be aware of its symptoms.
RSV in the UK leads to approximately 450,000 GP appointments, 29,000 hospital admissions and 83 deaths a year in children and adolescents. It also has a major impact on elderly adults with 175,000 GP appointments, 14,000 hospitalisations and 8,000 deaths per year in the UK. These symptoms usually appear in stages and not all at once. In very young infants with the virus, the only symptoms may be irritability, decreased activity, and breathing difficulties.
The UKHSA data also shows visits to A&E for bronchiolitis in the under 1s have also increased. Hospitalisations for RSV in the under fives has seen more than 10 children per 100,000 of the population across that group admitted for treatment, which is the highest of any age group.
