Monday, April 1, 2019 NIAID-Supported Study Links Rhinovirus-C Bronchiolitis and Early Sensitivity to Allergens with Risk for Recurrent Wheeze Bronchiolitis is a common illness in young children caused by a viral infection in the lungs that makes it difficult to breathe. The illness is associated with a high risk for asthma later in childhood. A NIAID-supported study published today in JAMA Pediatrics found that among infants with severe bronchiolitis, those with rhinovirus-C infection plus a positive test for allergies had a 3-fold higher risk of recurrent wheeze by age 3 years compared to those either without allergy or with RSV infection. The investigators are following the children in the study through age 6 to find out whether the same risk factors will be associated with asthma.  National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases  |  National Institutes of Health Update your subscriptions, modify your password or e-mail address, or stop subscriptions at any time on your Subscriber Preferences Page.
