Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) poses significant health risks for pregnant women, with infections potentially leading to severe complications. Experts indicate that the severity of RSV in expectant mothers can be comparable to that of influenza, making it a concern for maternal and fetal health.
The primary risks associated with RSV infection during pregnancy include an elevated likelihood of premature birth and the potential for fetal infection. These complications underscore the importance of understanding and managing RSV in this vulnerable population.
