Rhinovirus‐specific antibody responses in preschool children with acute wheeze reflect severity of respiratory symptoms

Some children with rhinovirus (RV) infections wheeze, but it is unknown whether this is due to more virulent strains of virus or differences in host immune responses. The aim of this study was to investigate the RV species‐specific antibody responses measured at a follow‐up visit in preschool children in relation to reported time with respiratory symptoms and the presence of different RV species during an acute episode of wheeze.
