Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus ( RSV ) is the most important virus causing acute respiratory tract infections in children and is an important cause of morbility and mortality. HIV- infected children are also at an increased risk of recurrent and more severe RSV infections. There are few studies looking at how HIV-Infected infants respond immunologically to natural RSV infection.
