NEW YORK — A young child in California has died of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, health officials said.
In a release Tuesday, Riverside University Health System – Public Health did not disclose the child's name, city of residence or sex, just that they were under age 4.
He added that the child was experiencing"several days of symptoms" before being brought to the hospital and was only hospitalized for"a short period of time" before they died. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, weekly RSV cases nationwide have risen from 5,872 the week ending Oct. 1 to 16,512 the week ending Nov. 5.
Health experts have said RSV is emerging earlier and affecting more children than typical because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although deaths are not common and usually occur among those with pre-existing conditions, between 100 and 500 pediatric deaths are attributed to RSV every year, according to the CDC.
