RF Lemanske Jr, DJ Jackson, RE Gangnon… - Journal of Allergy and …, 2005 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: The contribution of viral respiratory infections during infancy to the
development of subsequent wheezing and/or allergic diseases in early childhood is not
established. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate these relationships prospectively from birth to 3 years
of age in 285 children genetically at high risk for developing allergic respiratory diseases.
METHODS: By using nasal lavage, the relationship of timing, severity, and etiology of viral
respiratory infections during infancy to wheezing in the 3rd year of life was evaluated. In …
