Imagine you’re at a party and everyone is having a grand old time. Suddenly, a random guest named RSV crashes the party and causes chaos. In this scenario, the party is an intensive care unit (ICU) filled with infants, and RSV is the uninvited guest wreaking havoc. A recent study shows that most of the babies admitted to the ICU for RSV infections were previously healthy and born at term. It’s as if these unsuspecting infants were enjoying their cozy, warm wombs one moment, and BAM! They’re thrust into the chaotic world of ICU-level care due to RSV. This finding challenges the belief that only babies with pre-existing health conditions are at risk for severe RSV infections. It also raises questions about how we can better protect all infants from this unwelcome party crasher.
