Wheezing and viruses

Prevalence of reccurent wheeze in infants and toddlers is high. Viral respiratory infections, particularly with respiratory syncytial virus

(RSV) and human rhinovirus (HRV), are the most common causes of wheezing. For clinical purposes, reccurent wheeze in children below

the age of 5 years is classified as episodic (viral) or multiple-trigger wheeze. Currently, immunoprophylaxis with palivizumab RSV infections

is the prevention of wheezing in some patients.

Keywords: wheezing, viral infections, immunoprophylaxis
