Rhinovirus - not just the common cold

Simon B Drysdale et al. J Infect. 2017 Jun.

Abstract

Rhinoviruses (RV) are ubiquitous respiratory tract pathogens. They affect both the upper and lower respiratory tract and cause colds but have also been associated with wheezing, asthma exacerbations and pneumonia. New blood transcription profiling techniques of the host immune response are becoming available to characterise the pathogenesis of RV in humans. This review will outline the clinical impact of RVs in children.

Keywords: Asthma; Blood transcription profiling; Bronchiolitis; Rhinovirus.
