Severe RSV bronchiolitis within the first year of life requiring hospitalization carries a significantly increased risk of developing asthma by the age of 7, with some estimates as high as 50%. Bronchiolitis in children under two years of age is most commonly caused by RSV, and is seen most often in the fall and winter months. Inflammation of the smaller airways of the lower respiratory tract results in low-grade fever, tachypnea, expiratory wheezing, and intercostal retractions. In patients who demonstrate severe bronchiolitis, as evidenced by persistently increased respiratory effort or who appear clinically ill, hospitalization is required for close monitoring in addition to supportive care.
