Causal direction between respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis and asthma studied in monozygotic twins
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis has been associated with later development of asthma, wheezing, abnormal pulmonary function, and sensitization. Our aim was to determine the differential effect within monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs discordant for severe RSV bronchiolitis in infancy on the subsequent development of asthma, pulmonary function, and allergy.
