2.3 Other hazards
This preparation of RSV-A is a BIOHAZARDOUS material containing ACTIVE VIRUS and should be handled in accordance with biosafety guidelines defined in the BMBL, NIH-CDC HHS Publication No. (CDC) 21-1112. Category: WHO Risk Group 2 Emergency Overview: Biohazardous Pathogenicity: RSV primarily infects human epithelial cells within the nasopharynx; however, it can also infect other types of cells, including cell lines, but with much lower efficacy. Infection may lead to the formation of syncytia within the infected cell. Primary infection with RSV is generally exhibited as lower respiratory tract disease, pneumonia, bronchiolitis, tracheobronchitis, or upper respiratory tract illness. Common clinical symptoms include rhinorrhea, sneezing, cough, pharyngitis, bronchitis, headache, fatigue, and fever. In some cases, otitis media may occur. RSV infections usually begin with upper respiratory tract disease, which has the tendency to progress to lower respiratory tract disease (in ~50% cases). Severe infections (involving pneumonia) may develop among elderly patients with underlying respiratory conditions. Children and immunocompromised individuals are more susceptible to developing severe disease.
