Background Early life rhinovirus (RV) wheezing illnesses and aeroallergen sensitization
increase the risk of asthma at school age. Whether these remain risk factors for the
persistence of asthma out to adolescence is not established. Objective We sought to define
the relationships among specific viral illnesses and the type and timing of aeroallergen
sensitization with the persistence of asthma into adolescence. Methods A total of 217
children were followed prospectively from birth to age 13 years. The etiology and timing of …
