The association between bronchiolitis caused by RSV and the development of recurrent wheezing and/or asthma was first described more than 40 years ago, but it is still unclear whether bronchiolitis causes chronic respiratory symptoms, or if it is a marker for children with a genetic predisposition for developing asthma in the medium or long term. In the Childhood Origins of Asthma (COAST) study, which followed a cohort of 289 newborns with high risk of developing asthma, lower respiratory tract infection associated with rhinovirus was the main risk factor for presenting recurrent wheezing at 3 and 6 years of life, with an odds ratio of 10 for rhinovirus bronchiolitis compared to 2.6 for RSV bronchiolitis. 3 found that 80% of asthma exacerbations in asthmatic children aged 9-11 years were associated with viral respiratory infection, of which two thirds were caused by rhinovirus. ./cache/cord-312613-1nl7q6cy.txt ./txt/cord-312613-1nl7q6cy.txt
