A Case of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection Presented with Apnea
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) is currently implicated as the most common and otentially serious viral respiratory pathogen of young infants. Apnea in association with RSV infection occurred in about 18% of the infants. Premature birth and a
young
postnatal age were risk factors for development of apnea with RSV disease.
We experienced a case of RSV infection in a 37 day-old premature girl. The presenting complaint was apnea, with respiratory sings and symptoms developing later. She required mechanical ventilation.
