Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the most common respiratory virus in infants and young children. In most infants, the virus causes symptoms resembling those of the common cold. However, in infants born prematurely or with chronic lung disease, RSV can be a severe and even life-threatening disease. Families with limited financial resources and limited access to prenatal care are at the highest risk for premature births and, as a result, RSV.
Infants may be treated for RSV, or the prevention of RSV, in the physician office, hospital outpatient, or hospital inpatient setting, depending on the severity of illness.
Patient access issues often exist, particularly for working families that have insurance but limited incomes. Such insurance polices are more likely to have high co-insurance requirements. It is families like these that will receive assistance through the Patient Access Network Foundation.
