RSV: respiratory syncytial virus, IVIG: intravenous immunoglobulin. * IV ribavirin with oral corticosteroids is well tolerated and effective with a lower price than aerosolized ribavirin [20]. †There is no consensus as to the appropriate regimen. Steroid selection and dosing are usually center dependent. ‡Motavizumab is a new, potent anti-RSV immunoglobulin, recently not approved by the FDA in a recent filing for licensure [21]. |
