Abstract: Rhinovirus (RV) has been reported as one of the main viral causes of human respiratory infections and has received increasing attention in recent years due to its strong association with various respiratory diseases. Studies have shown that RV not only causes the common cold but also plays a critical role in lower respiratory tract conditions such as bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and asthma. Notably, RV is implicated in both the onset and exacerbation of asthma. This review systematically summarizes a wide range of RV-associated respiratory diseases in the available literature. Although there are currently no specific antiviral therapies or vaccines targeting RV, advances in the development of polyvalent vaccines and antiviral drugs provide promising directions for future prevention and treatment. Clarifying the relationship between RV and diseases will provide strong support for optimizing treatment strategies and preventing and controlling respiratory diseases.
