RSV--Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of respiratory illness in young children. RSV causes infection of the lungs and breathing passages.RSV is highly contagious, and can be spread through droplets containing the virus when a person coughs or sneezes. The virus can also live on surfaces such as countertops or doorknobs, and on hands and clothing. RSV can be easily spread when a person touches an object or surface contaminated with the virus. The infection can spread rapidly through schools and child-care centers. Infants often get it when older kids carry the virus home from school and pass it to them. Almost all kids are infected with RSV at least once by the time they are 2 years old.

if they were healthy at birth, and are returning now (this time of the year/seasons), there are a lot of hospitalizations for bronchiolitis and RSV. Essentially infections that get down into the lungs and the child needs to be watched closely. if they get a real bad bladder infection and the bacterial goes systemic/they get septic then they'll be admitted also.

My guess is cough, cold and fever problems ! ... Many a times they get severe and you have to rush them to the hospitals.
