Abstract: | Intussusception is known to be associated with childhood viral illnesses. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has not, to our knowledge, been previously reported in association with intussusception. We report a case of a 4-month-old boy admitted with RSV bronchiolitis, who subsequently developed an intussusception during the hospital course, necessitating laparotomy and resection. |
