“…Indeed, a proportion of patients with hRSV-associated severe bronchiolitis can develop neurological abnormalities, such as seizures ( Kho et al, 2004 , Ng et al, 2001 , Cha et al, 2019 ), central apnea ( Kho et al, 2004 ); lethargy, ( Sweetman et al, 2005 , Kho et al, 2004 ) feeding or swallowing difficulties ( Sweetman et al, 2005 , Kho et al, 2004 ), strabismus ( Antonucci and Fanos, 2005 ), encephalopathy ( Eisenhut, 2007 , Millichap and Wainwright, 2009 , Picone et al, 2019 , Bohmwald et al, 2014 , Bohmwald et al, 2018 ), and elevated cytokines levels or increased cellularity in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ( Kawashima et al, 2012 , Kho et al, 2004 , Otake et al, 2007 ). Additionally, studies in rodents have shown that hRSV can cause cognitive alterations, similarly to what has been reported for the other respiratory viruses, such as the influenza virus and SARS-CoV-2 ( Jurgens et al, 2012 , Jang et al, 2009 , Mao et al, 2020 , Meinhardt, 2020 , Moriguchi et al, 2020 , Bernard-Valnet, 2020 , Hornuss, 2020 , Rogers et al, 2020 ). These observations suggest that hRSV could alter the proper function of the CNS.…”
