Cdc rsv fact sheet

Common Questions and Answers about Cdc rsv fact sheet

rsv

Avatar n tn My room mate is aware of the information on the CDC fact sheet, but I still worry about his health and mine (although I know transmission within a household is rare without sharing personal care items). Is it advisable for him to get tested? I just wonder if the proper cleaning techniques had not been used, and he had come in contact with a minuscule amount of dried blood in the days following the incident, if he is at a significant risk. Thank you.

Avatar n tn My son is going to be 2 months old soon and a couple of days after he was born they told me he has RSV, i have been in and out of the hospital so many times and he dose not seem to be getting any better. I have read everybody stories and How they lost their loved ones and i am so scared that it might happen to my son. Please is there anything that i can do to prevent this from getting worse???
593530 tn?1263847957 I brought Brody to his pediatrician last week because he was very congested. After a nose swab was tested it was determined that he has RSV. Since it's a virus it can't be treated with antibiotics, so she instructed me to get a cool mist humidifier and keep his nasal pasages clear by using saline solution. The only symptom he's had is the congestion. There's no fever, coughing, mucous coming out, etc.
1368291 tn?1299629804 Saturday he was having lots of nasal congestion and coughing so I took him to the ER. He tested positive for RSV so the last few days have been scary. We are doing a cool mist humidifier with eucalyptus oil at night, albuterol breathing treatments and keeping his nose suctioned out. I hope he gets better soon but I did learn that apparently you cant trust family to let you know...
Avatar n tn ve evidently updated the recommendations on the shingles vaccine and according to the CDC fact sheet now it is recommended that you get the vaccine. Not sure what the rationalization is behind the new recommendations to be honest.

2175249 tn?1406933106 That's what scares me my now 12 year old had RSV and spent 2 weeks in the hospital when he was only 2 weeks old. So after that, we've done our best to keep visitors away from the new babies. His aunt even insists that since I got the flu shot it will be okay for people to visit. But even the CDC has said there are strains of flu going around that the shot may not protect from. But just because I got it doesn't 100% protect my baby.
Avatar n tn I have repeatedly that HIV cannot be transmitted off an environmental surface. The CDC report supports this as do most of the people, including doctors that contribute to this forum. However, if you read the CDC report further it says that household members of people have, albeit very rarely contracted HIV from a HIV positive housemember. It also recommends that people avoid using razors and tooth brushes. Wouldn't a razor and toothbrush would be an environmental surface?
Avatar f tn LCMV is a real entity, and the CDC has a nice fact sheet on it. There is also a LCMV website. If you were my patient, I would ask you to contact me right away if you had any symptoms (LCMV symptoms are similar to flu +/- bad stiff neck). There is a blood test to determine whether you have the virus or have ever had it. There is not treatment currently. So, there is not much to be done at this point, and the risk is so low.
Avatar m tn Please speak to your doctor about it. They should also provide a fact sheet of potential side effects. You will likely need three doses of it since you are older. https://www.cdc.gov/hpv/parents/vaccine.html The CDC recommends the vaccine for young adults. And the side effects are mild if you experience them at all. Again, side effects are very mild for the majority. Here is a comprehensive list. https://www.drugs.com/sfx/gardasil-9-side-effects.
Avatar f tn I took my 4 week old to the ER and they told me he has RSV. They just gave me a paper on it, They didn't really tell me what to do except suction out his nose. I read the paper ad it told me that in mild disease that no specific treatment is necessary. So I guess he is only a mild case, but I don't know how to tell if he is getting worse. I read on another site that family history of asthma puts him at a higher risk for becoming a severe case. I am know wen he is getting worse?

Avatar m tn Hi, are you sure you mentioned the laboratory attendant to do a HIV test? RSV ( Respiratory synctial virus) is an antibody test that detects antibodies against RSV virus thats related to a respiratory infection. Lets wait till other experts comment on your query.
1346146 tn?1299360497 Well Lauren has rsv! My pedi also said adults can get it to!?!? Didn't know that. I guess that explains this cold type stuff I have. So she is on breathing treatments. We caught it early enough so hopefully it wont be so bad. Dh is also sick, my oldest son broke his foot last week at school and is in a nonwalking cast, and Lauren also bit my left breast last week while nursing and it's infected so im on antibiotics and she can't nurse from that side!
377012 tn?1283965435 (crying all night) so i left out some info! in Oct. he was diagnosed with RSV and then again at the end of Nov.-first of Dec. he had it again! unfortunately RSV can take up to 8 weeks before it is released from your system hence why he had it twice in 2 months....the reason i thought it could be pneumonia is because of the way is chest moves when he breathes and because RSV can cause pneumonia to be set up in your system since your system is low especially in toddlers!
Avatar f tn my baby has RSV. I felt sick a little before we found out she had it and then a cople days later I got a cold do you think that could be it? and thank you.
