Observational studies cannot determine whether RSV infection is the cause of recurrent wheeze or the first indication of preexistent pulmonary vulnerability in preterm infants. The monoclonal antibody palivizumab has shown efficacy in preventing severe RSV infection in high-risk infants. MET...
متن کاملDecreased lung function precedes severe respiratory syncytial virus infection and post-respiratory syncytial virus wheeze in term infants.
