A study of etiology and asthma risks in infants and toddlers hospitalized for recurrent or persistent wheezing
Wheezing phenotype and age may partly guide the etiological diagnosis of recurrent/persistent wheezing in infants and young children. Bronchoscopy is important for the diagnosis of refractory recurrent/persistent wheezing, while mAPI aids in the diagnosis of asthma. When infants and children with recurrent or persistent wheezing have the characteristics of older age, ICU admission, positive mAPI, and food allergy, the possibility of asthma may be considered.
