Although respiratory virus infections are not among the diseases typically associated with T h 2 lymphocyte activation and profound pulmonary eosinophilia, eosinophils and/or eosinophil granule secretory proteins have been detected in lung washings or systemically in infants in need of supplemental oxygen secondary to severe RSV infection. 55 A number of studies suggest potential detrimental roles for eosinophils and fungi in T h 2-mediated airway diseases, such as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), severe asthma associated with fungal sensitivity (SAFS), and CRS.	./cache/cord-022476-g826uiqx.txt	./txt/cord-022476-g826uiqx.txt
