Post by: Loay963 on Feb 25, 2018 Of the situations listed, a normal 3-year-old child is the least likely to have a severe RSV infection. All of the other situations involve a child with a preexisting medical condition that could result in a severe case of RSV. Mycoplasma is an organism that has traits of both bacteria and viruses. The other listed options are yeasts. Major anatomic alterations associated with RSV include, but are not limited to, inflammation of the peripheral airways and alveolar hyperinflation. RSV does not alter airway structure or cause pulmonary edema. Histoplasma capsulatum is found in chicken (and other bird) excreta as well as soil.
