Clinical and Virus Surveillance After the First Wheezing Episode: Special Reference to Rhinovirus A and C Species.

ABSTRACT: Susceptibility to rhinovirus (RV)-induced early wheezing episode has been recognized as an important risk factor for asthma, but the data on different RV species are limited. Our aim was to investigate the risk for recurrences in first-time wheezing children with special focus on RV species.First-time wheezing children (88 inpatients and 23 outpatients) were prospectively followed at 2-week, 2-month and 12-month time-points, and at first recurrence within 12 months. The respiratory virus etiology was analyzed using polymerase chain reaction. RV-positive samples were sequenced. The primary outcomes were time to a new physician-confirmed wheezing episode, time to a new RV-induced wheezing episode and time to the initiation of regular controller medication for asthma symptoms.The median age of the children was 12 months (standard deviation, 6.0), 67% were males and 23% were sensitized. RV dominated in symptomatic and asymptomatic infections. Different RV strains were observed in 97% (67/69) of consecutive samples during follow-up. First-time wheezing children with RV-C and RV-A had an increased risk for a new physician-confirmed wheezing episode and a new RV-associated wheezing episode than non-RV group (all P < 0.05). Also, the risk for the initiation of regular controller medication was increased in RV-A and RV-C groups when compared with non-RV group (both P < 0.05).RV causes reinfections with different strains in small children after the first wheezing episode. Both RV-A and RV-C affected children have an increased risk for recurrence, especially RV associated, and initiation of regular controller medication than those with other viruses.

Project description:Rhinovirus (RV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are common causes of bronchiolitis. Unlike an RSV etiology, an RV etiology is associated with a markedly increased risk of asthma. We investigated the cytokine profiles of RV- and RSV-induced first wheezing episode and their correlation with prognosis. We recruited 52 sole RV- and 11 sole RSV-affected children with a severe first wheezing episode. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated during acute illness and 2 weeks later and stimulated in vitro with anti-CD3/anti-CD28. Culture medium samples were analyzed for 56 different cytokines by multiplex ELISA. Recurrences were prospectively followed for 4 years. In adjusted analyses, the cytokine response from PBMCs in the RV group was characterized by decreased expression of interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and increased expression of eosinophil chemotactic protein 2 (eotaxin-2), thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC), and epithelial-derived neutrophil-activating peptide 78 (ENA-78) in the acute phase and increased expression of fractalkine in the convalescent phase compared to those in the RSV group. An analysis of the change in cytokine expression between study points revealed an increased expression of fractalkine and IL-1β and decreased expression of I-309 (CCL1) and TARC in the RV group compared to those in the RSV group.. Considering hospitalization time, a significant non-adjusted group × cytokine interaction was observed in the levels of interferon gamma (IFN-γ), macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC), IL-1RA, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), indicating that a higher expression of cytokine was associated with shorter hospitalization time in the RSV group but not in the RV group. A significant interaction was also found in interleukin 6 (IL-6), but the cytokine response was not associated with hospitalization time in the RSV or RV group. In the RV group, increased expression of I-309 (CCL1) and TARC was associated with fewer relapses within 2 months, and decreased expression of interleukin 13 (IL-13) and increased expression of I-309 (CCL1) were associated with less relapses within 12 months. Differences in cytokine response from PBMCs were observed between RV- and RSV-induced first severe wheezing episode. Our findings also reveal new biomarkers for short- and medium-term prognosis in first-time wheezing children infected with RV or RSV.
