RSV steadily rising, pediatric RSV injection in short supply

A rise in viral illnesses recently prompted Children's Wisconsin to tighten its visitor policy.

Over the last week, Children's Wisconsin reported an average of 10 hospitalizations per day for patients who test positive for RSV.

"The point is to protect our patients and others who are in our hospital and our clinic settings as well," the president of Children's Medical Group Dr. Michael Gutzeit explained.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services reports since November 1st there have been 49 RSV-associated hospitalizations, 75 percent of those patients were under 5 years old.

Thankfully, no RSV-associated deaths have been reported.
