Childhood RSV Infections in Family Medicine Practice
Abstract
Pediatric patients are important in family medicine practice. Good assessment and management in patients with lower respiratory tract infections such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia are becoming more important. In our country as well as all around the world, most important cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in a childhood is Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) which is an enveloped, RNA virus. In this review we aimed to discuss the management of childhood RSV infections in family medicine practice in light of the current studies and guidelines.
