Ep 111 RSV: Whats syncytial anyway?
b'
We\\u2019re kicking off our sixth season in the same way we ended our fifth: with another headline-making respiratory virus. But as our listeners know, not all respiratory viruses are the same, and it\\u2019s often those differences among them that play the biggest role in their spread or the symptoms they cause. This episode, we\\u2019re exploring the virus that everyone has been talking about lately. No, not that one. Or that one. The other one. Yes, we\\u2019re talking about respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV. For many people, the recent surge in RSV infections that dominated headlines this winter may have been the first time they had heard of this viral infection or realized how deadly it could be. But for others, RSV has long inspired fear and dread. In this episode, we Erins explain why this virus deserves such notoriety, how long we\\u2019ve recognized the dangers of infection, and what hope the future may hold for novel RSV treatments or vaccines. If at any point you\\u2019ve wondered what all the fuss is about this virus or how to pronounce syncytial, then this is the episode for you!
