From lockdown to recovery: changing patterns of viral infection severity in a pediatric cohort with asthma
NPIs were associated with sustained reductions in asthma-related illness severity, even with increased viral detection post-pandemic. These findings highlight the long-term impact of public health measures on pediatric asthma outcomes and emphasize the need for ongoing surveillance of respiratory viruses and health disparities.
