- RSV is an acronym for respiratory syncytial virus.
- Data accurate as of 09/07/2023. Hospital occupancies are fluid and can change rapidly. Data should not be taken as a guarantee that any given hospital in any given state has availability at a particular time.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that can affect people of all ages, but it is particularly dangerous for infants and older adults. It typically causes mild, cold-like symptoms in healthy adults and older children, but it can lead to severe respiratory infections in infants and those with weakened immune systems. RSV is highly contagious and spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, making it essential to practice good hygiene and take preventive measures, especially during peak seasons.
When examining RSV rates across states, one notable trend emerges: Texas consistently reports the highest rates of RSV infections. While various factors contribute to this trend, including population density, healthcare infrastructure, and environmental conditions, Texas’s large population size and diverse demographics may play a significant role.
