Researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia have found children with vitamin D deficiency are more likely to develop asthma.
A hallmark of atopic asthma is development of chronic airways hyper-responsiveness (AHR) that persists in the face of ongoing exposure to perennial...
Prospective birth cohort studies tracking asthma initiation and consolidation in community cohorts have identified viral infections occurring against a...
Studies addressing the ontogeny of the innate immune system in early life have reported mainly on Toll-like receptor (TLR) responses in infants living in...
The aim of this study was to explore associations between severe respiratory infections and atopy in early childhood with persisting wheeze and asthma.
Information is accumulating which implicates airway inflammation resulting from respiratory viral infections, acting against a background of atopy.
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between nasopharyngeal pneumococcal colonization in early life and the development of T cell responses.
