Abstract:
Rhinovirus(RV) infection can lead to asymptomatic,mild symptoms from the upper respiratory tract to severe symptoms from the lower respiratory tract.RV is dentified as an important contributor to wheezing illness in preschool children.Wheezing is a symptom of airway obstruction,and preschool children wheezing with RV is associated with the development of asthma at school age.There is a debate whether there is difference in response to RV infection or if wheezing with RV only reveals a preexisting impairment that promotes asthma mainly in predisposed children.The development of molecular diagnostics to detect respiratory viruses has provided new insights into the role of RV infections.The review aims to discuss the relationship between RV infection and asthma.
