Respiratory Syncytial Virus is a yearly respiratory virus that causes significant frequencies of morbidities, particularly in the young and elderly populations. However, preventive vaccines and/or treatment therapies are generally lacking, although much attention is now being placed on this virus. Moreover, there are now multiple strategies currently being explored in a race to the first licensed vaccine. While vaccines are being developed, multiple treatment strategies are being explored to attenuate the severity of infection and thus reduce hospitalization rates in vulnerable populations. This review outlines current strategies to prevent or treat this virus in the hopes of reducing significant human morbidity and mortality that occurs yearly with this seasonal virus.
呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）是一种常见的呼吸道病毒，每年都会导致大量发病率，尤其是在儿童和老年人中。然而，目前一般缺乏预防疫苗和/或治疗方法，尽管现在人们对这种病毒给予了高度关注。此外，目前正在探索多种策略，以期率先开发出许可疫苗。在开发疫苗的同时，还在探索多种治疗策略，以减轻感染的严重程度，从而降低弱势人群的住院率。本综述概述了预防或治疗这种病毒的现有策略，以期减少每年这种季节性病毒导致的大量人类发病率和死亡率。
