BACKGROUND: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and rhinovirus infections are the most
common significant infant respiratory tract illnesses and are associated with increased but
differential risks of childhood asthma. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether
maternal asthma is associated with higher odds of infant respiratory tract infection with
rhinovirus versus RSV and increased infection severity. METHODS: Mother-infant dyads
were enrolled from 2004-2008 during an infant respiratory tract infection (104 with rhinovirus …
