Bronchiolitis is a common infant respiratory infection, primarily caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Research is advancing to find new treatments and preventative strategies for this widespread illness.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric infectious diseases
  • Virology
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Bronchiolitis is a significant cause of infant hospitalizations.
  • Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading viral pathogen identified.
  • Multiple other respiratory viruses contribute to the disease burden.

Purpose:

  • To summarize the epidemiology of bronchiolitis.
  • To highlight the role of various viral pathogens.
  • To discuss ongoing research in novel therapies and prevention.

Summary:

  • Bronchiolitis epidemiology reveals RSV as the primary driver of acute lower respiratory infections in infants.
  • Identified viral culprits include RSV, human metapneumovirus, rhinoviruses, enteroviruses, coronaviruses, influenza, parainfluenza, and adenoviruses.
