Early life RSV infection in neonatal mice leads to exacerbated allergic asthma due to persistent Th2 pulmonary responses that are abrogated by maternal supplementation with a L. johnsonii probiotic

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: The development of immune responses in infants is central to establishing a balanced system that reacts appropriately to infectious stimuli but does not induce altered disease states with potential long term sequelae. Studies have linked severe RSV infection during early-life with an enhanced likelihood of developing childhood asthma.
