TL;DR: It has long been known that patients with viral respiratory infections develop temporary asthma‐like symptoms or see a worsening of their existing asthmatic symptoms or develop full‐blown asthma during the infection, and it should not be surprising that these same viruses have been found to initiate the same inflammatory processes as seen and characterized in theAsthmatic patient.

TL;DR: Impairment in PMN response to ISO was also significantly decreased in its ability to stimulate formation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate, and the regular administration of beta-adrenergic sympathomimetics in the treatment of asthma affected this abnormality.

TL;DR: In this article, the early introduction of inhaled corticosteroids, along with avoidance of causal factors, may prevent or reduce progression and chronicity of this disease, and aerosolized forms of corticostosteroids are playing an increasingly important role in treating and preventing asthma.

TL;DR: The efficacy and safety associated with both subcutaneous (SCIT) and sublingual (SLIT) approaches are reviewed and positioned as treatment options for pediatric patients, with specific focus on current literature as it relates to SLIT in children, including those with perennial allergic rhinitis.
