RSV-RESPIRATORY SYNCTIAL VIRUS IgM (O.S.)

Overview

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is probably the single major cause of lower respiratory infection (LRI) among infants worldwide. Its relative importance may be underestimated, as the diagnosis is based on antigen detection and antigen may only be detectable in the early phase of infection. A low avidity result in combination with reactive Rubella IgM indicates primary infection within the last 4 months.
