Abstract
En 中文
Rhinovirus (RV) infections are important triggers of wheezing illnesses in children and in infants are associated with the later development of asthma. In preschool children with treatment-refractory wheeze, we reported ∼30% had an active but silent RV infection, most with mixed lung neutrophilia and eosinophilia. This led us to speculate that RV infection might support the future inception of asthma through type 2 (T2) inflammatory pathways.
