RSV causes most infant respiratory infections but is rarely reported in India say experts

Indian pediatric experts report that Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) causes a significant number of infant respiratory infections, yet cases are underreported in India. Despite being a notifiable disease, routine testing is low, leading to potential underestimation of its impact. Doctors emphasize that almost every child contracts RSV by age two, and while many recover, some develop severe complications.
