Redefining bronchiolitis: Respiratory phenotyping of viral lower respiratory tract infections identifies subsets with distinct acute severity and recurrence of respiratory illnesses during early life
Rationale: Although viral lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in young children are typically grouped as a single disease (viral bronchiolitis), our recent data suggest that not all LRTI are the same. Using refined standardized clinical scores we have identified two phenotypes in viral LRTI in young children: a) wheezing phenotype characterized by lower respiratory obstruction (wheezing/sub-costal retractions and air-trapping) and b) parenchymal lung disease phenotype characterized by tachypnea, hypoxemia and lung
