Background The nature of bronchial mucosal inflammation and its physiologic and clinical
significance in rhinovirus-induced asthma exacerbations is unclear. We investigated
bronchial mucosal inflammatory response and its association with physiologic and clinical
outcomes in an experimental model of rhinovirus-induced asthma exacerbations. Methods
We used immunohistochemistry methods to detect phenotypes of inflammatory cells
infiltrating the bronchial mucosa before and after experimental rhinovirus infection in 10 …
