Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that typically causes mild, cold-like symptoms but can be serious in infants and older adults. It spreads through droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through contact with contaminated surfaces. Prevention includes good hygiene, avoiding close contact during outbreaks, and protective measures for high-risk groups.
