Vinku2 is the first study to investigate the associations between the patient characteristics of the first acute severe virus-induced wheezing episode and the subsequent pulmonary function and bronchial reactivity. Atopic sensitization diagnosed during the first acute severe wheezing episode was associated with increased bronchial reactivity and reduced lung function at preschool age. To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the associations between the patient characteristics of the first acute severe virus-induced wheezing episode and the subsequent pulmonary function and bronchial reactivity later in childhood. In conclusion, atopic sensitization diagnosed during the first acute severe wheezing episode was associated with increased bronchial reactivity and reduced lung function at preschool age. ./cache/cord-295260-te2jz2gn.txt ./txt/cord-295260-te2jz2gn.txt
