It's always a joyful moment when a new baby is born. Everyone in the family wants to come meet the new addition. A few days later, this precious little baby is struggling to breathe and needs to be in the intensive care unit (ICU) with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis.
RSV is a virus generally present in the winter, usually at its worst in January and February each year. We are starting to see cases of RSV in our community.
