Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of hospitalization of infants worldwide each year. Both host and viral factors host factors predispose a subset of what appear to be healthy infants to severe RSV-induced disease. In this review, we outline many genetic and immunologic factors that contribute to airway obstruction that contributes to the severity of RSV infection.Entities:
