Background. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of severe lower
respiratory tract infection in infants. Only a proportion of children infected with RSV require …

Background Data on how respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) genotypes influence disease
severity and host immune responses is limited. Here, we characterized the genetic variability …

Previously, we reported genetic associations between severe respiratory syncytial virus
(RSV) bronchiolitis in infants and polymorphisms in the interleukin (IL)–4 and IL-4 receptor α …

To explain the wide spectrum of disease severity caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
and because of the limitations of animal models to fully parallel human RSV disease, study …

Background We aimed to study respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) genotype distribution,
clinical presentation, and disease severity in infants with bronchiolitis from RSV subtypes …

Illness severity and frequency of complications in infants with respiratory syncytial virus
(RSV) infection may be influenced by the local elaboration of cytokines. Cytokine gene …

The predominance of severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis in boys
compared to girls is well known, but its mechanism is not yet understood. This is the first …

Prematurity is a risk factor for severe respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis. We show that
genetic factors in innate immune genes (IFNA13, IFNAR2, STAT2, IL27, NFKBIA, C3, IL1RN …

Thisreview examines the relationship between severe pulmonary disease caused by
respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in infancy and later development of asthma or …

Background. The clinical spectrum of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis in
previously healthy infants is extremely variable. Thus, it is likely that factors such as genetic …
