Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is the most frequent cause of acute lower respiratory tract disease in infants,1 and pulmonary hypertension is the one condition particularly associated with life-threatening RSV infection during infancy.2 Here we describe two patients whose illness provides strong evidence of a direct relation between pulmonary hypertension and the severity of pulmonary RSV infection in infants.
