VIRUS-INDUCED WHEEZING IN CHILDREN: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Rhinovirus 1998-02-01 .txt text/plain 4835 237 37 Use of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to measure viral nucleic acid material has provided the opportunity to study virus-induced wheezing among children in greater detail, and investigations of experimental rhinovirus infections in adults have demonstrated how this virus can augment both the early and late phase manifestations of airway hyperreactivity. When nasal washes from another study of children seen in the emergency room were tested using PCR techniques, rhinovirus was again the most common virus associated with wheezing after the age of 2.43 Once again, the combination of allergen-specific IgE antibody and viral infection increased the risk for wheezing (odds ratio = 16.4). ./cache/cord-019100-rce6kyu4.txt ./txt/cord-019100-rce6kyu4.txt
