We found that a history of breastfeeding was associated with a reduction in the risk of
acute otitis media, non-specific gastroenteritis,
severe lower respiratory tract infections, atopic dermatitis,
asthma (young children), obesity, type 1 and 2 diabetes, childhood leukemia, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and necrotizing enterocolitis.
Our goal is to establish the association of virulent RSV strains between early childhood wheezing,
severe acute bronchiolitis and subsequent
asthma development and
asthma pathogenesis.
