Potential vertical transmission of hRSV from the mother to the fetus. The infection with hRSV can travel through the bloodstream until reaching the placenta, where it can infect the Syncytiotrophoblast and the Hofbauer cells, but not the cytotrophoblast. After the infection of the cells from the placenta, it might reach the fetus through the blood vessels of the fetus.
