A viral surveillance study in Amman, Jordan, found that respiratory syncytial virus and human metapneumovirus were associated with higher odds of acute wheezing in hospitalized children under 2 years old, while human rhinovirus was not. Future longitudinal studies are needed to further evaluate the connection between early childhood viral respiratory infections and recurrent wheezing in later childhood.
A cross-sectional viral surveillance study of hospitalized children less than 2 years of old in Amman, Jordan, noted that respiratory syncytial virus and human metapneumovirus, but not human rhinovirus, were associated with higher odds of acute wheezing. Future longitudinal studies are needed to evaluate the association between early childhood viral acute respiratory infections and recurrent wheezing later in childhood.
