TL;DR: Results from this study demonstrate that a large majority of emergent wheezing illnesses during childhood can be linked to infection with rhinovirus, and that these wheazing attacks are most likely in those who have rhinOVirus together with evidence of atopy or eosinophilic airway inflammation.

TL;DR: Evaluating the prevalence of viral respiratory tract pathogens among infants and children hospitalized for wheezing and analyzing the results in relation to the patient's age, atopic characteristics, and season of admission found respiratory syncytial virus was the dominant pathogen during the winter months, but rhinovirus was more common during other months.

TL;DR: The purpose of this document is to highlight the key messages that are common to many of the existing guidelines, while critically reviewing and commenting on any differences, thus providing a concise reference.

TL;DR: Recommendations to reduce tobacco smoke exposure at home, especially for young patients, and to consider sensitization to inhaled allergens and allergen avoidance in wheezing children at an early age, particularly after age 2 years are supported.

TL;DR: These experiments clearly define a second group of major dust mite allergens that demonstrate extensive structural and antigenic homology.
