Influence of viral and bacterial respiratory infections on exacerbations and symptom severity in childhood asthma

Pediatric Pulmonology. Supplement
S L Johnston

Abstract

The recent development of PCR for the diagnosis of respiratory viral infection has highlighted the importance of these infections in acute exacerbations of asthma. Rhinoviruses are important in all age groups, but particularly over 1 yr, while the role of RSV in bronchiolitis and wheezing in infants has been reaffirmed. Recent studies using the same technique for the detection of C. pneumoniae suggest a high prevalence of chronic infection in asthmatic children, and that the immune response to this organism may play a pathological role. These studies now require confirmation with larger carefully controlled studies.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Allergies & Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.
