The human respiratory syncytial virus, after the Covid-19 pandemic

Main Article Content

Leonardo Borgese

Abstract

Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is the main cause of upper and lower respiratory tract infections in the pediatric population, but it can also seriously affect the elderly and, in general, adults with previous chronic pathologies, especially of a cardiac and pulmonary nature.
