Clinical and Laboratory Profiles of Rhinovirus-Infected Preschool Children: Identifying Risk Factors for Subsequent Asthma

Atopy, sensitization to aeroallergens, and inhaled corticosteroid use were significant risk factors for asthma development in children with rhinovirus infections. The early identification of these risk factors may help in the timely management of these children to mitigate the potential long-term consequences of chronic airway inflammation. This personalized approach allows for more intensive medical surveillance and targeted therapeutic interventions in high-risk individuals, potentially improving the long-term outcomes.
