Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is important cause of morbidity, especially in early childhood. In the article, we summary the improvement and changes either in understanding of RSV patofysiology, it's acute and long term effects, same as in diagnostics, therapy or prevention.

Keywords: respiratory syncytial virus, respiratory infection, asthma, ribavirine, palivizumab
