During last winter's cold and flu season, we experienced a record-low number of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and other respiratory virus cases due to public health measures, such as social distancing and wearing masks.
A few days ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a health advisory about the increase of RSV cases in the Southern United States.
In North Texas, Children's Health is seeing the same phenomenon.
KRLD's John Liddle talked with Dr. Jeffrey Kahn, Chief of Infectious Diseases at Children’s Health in Dallas and Professor at UT Southwestern, about the "astonishing" number of RSV cases.
