CA40.11

ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Pneumonia due to Respiratory syncytial virus

Description

A disease caused by an infection with respiratory syncytial virus. This disease is characterised by an inflammatory condition of the lung commonly affecting the alveoli (pneumonia), leading to coughing, sneezing, fever, or wheezing. This disease may be severe in premature babies and those with concurrent disease or immunosuppression. Transmission is by direct contact, droplet transmission, or indirect contact with infected respiratory secretions. Confirmation is by identification of respiratory syncytial virus, commonly through antigen detection or cell culture.
