Rsv disease risk assessment
Common Questions and Answers about Rsv disease risk assessment
rsv
Infants who are a product of multiple births, have lung disease, low birth weight, heart disease, and those born prematurely are at a higher risk to contract a serious form of Resipritory Syncytial Virus. If children under the age of two are going to be put in situations where the risk of exposure is iminent, Health professionals stress the importance of the vaccine.
Due to the overwhelming expense of the vaccine, it is not an option for a lot of families.
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?
He was okay to come home then he was 5 weeks old and got really ill with the RSV and was in the hospital and then heart failure then the surgery then infection and more illness. he does have pulmomary issues partly because my hubby has asthma and the ithers they are saying is from bing on a ventilator at such a young age.
Please make sure he gets the synagisis shot.(it helps lesson the rsv in a child with a heart issue and premature babies.
RSV is a resportory disease that starts as a common cold and then starts to shot down the resportory system very scary. We finally found out what it was that my daughter had. She had strep in the stomach and intestines. Instead of the strep staying in her throat she swallowed it. She got worse that ever after I posted this, so I brought her to a different hospital and they figured it out. thanks for responding.
Oral sex. I used to say that oral sex was very low risk but as time goes on my assessment is that it gets closer and closer to being a no risk event. There are no credible instances in many years in which anyone has even claimed to get HIV through either receiving or giving oral sex and the few old case reports in which it was suggested to occur are not convincing. I would not worry about HIV from oral sex.
I won't address your "have you ever" question.
Asking partners, while not perfect is a good idea an will reduce your risk somewhat. As for oral sex, the quoted figure for HIV risk, if one has oral sex with an infected partner is less than 1 in 10,000 and, in my estimation that is far too high. Some experts state there is no risk at all from oral sex. Neither of us on this site have ever seen or reading the medical literature of a convincing instance in which HIV was passed by oral sex.
Finally a few days ago i took him in again to the ER n they found out he has a virus newborns have been getting its Called Rsv n if they would have tested it before they would have found it i was So pissed!!! So now today we got out of the childerns hospital they sent him home with oxygen but to me he still seems bad but they that he was Fine!!
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???
Hello Doctor,
I'm a 20 year old male living in Canada. Exactly 44 days ago, I had unprotected vaginal intercourse with a female escort for about 10-15 seconds and I let her ejaculate in my mouth. At 2 and 4 weeks after this event, I had Duo HIV tests (I think this would be a 4th generation Elisa?) which came back negative. However, I've been having flu-like symptoms for the past two-three weeks.
In the real world oral sex poses no risk. An excellent explanation why it is not a risk was posted by "nursegirl" in one of her journals.
Click on her name and search her journals.
As far as testing goes, not necessary for that particular exposure. If only a test will relieve your anxiety then have one at 12 weeks, even though it is not necessary.
