Nasopharyngeal airway dual-transcriptome of infants with severe bronchiolitis and risk of childhood asthma
Severe bronchiolitis (bronchiolitis requiring hospitalization) during infancy is a major risk factor for incident asthma. However, the exact mechanism linking these common conditions remains unclear. We aimed to examine the integrated role of airway microbiome (both taxonomy and function) and host response in asthma development in this high-risk population.
