Abstract:
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) typically causes lower respiratory tract infections in children, and most patients recover successfully. However, some infants and young children can have a severe course of disease with respiratory failure, and extrapulmonary manifestations can occur in severe RSV disease. We report one case of severe RSV bronchiolitis complicated with acute myocarditis, fulminant hepatic failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation.
