The state health department issued an advisory for doctors earlier this month, warning that respiratory syncytial virus — which can cause severe illness in children — is among the conditions reappearing.
And the appearance this summer of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, is unusual.
Rhinovirus and non-COVID coronaviruses that cause common colds are also appearing in more patients.
UCHealth started seeing one or two patients a week with colds in March, but it’s up to 5 to 6 patients a week, Barron said.
