Viruses as Precipitants of Asthmatic Attacks in Children
Abstract
Evidence for the exacerbation of asthma by specific infectious agents was sought in an October 1971 through May 1972 outpatient study of 16 children with histories of wheezing associated with apparent symptomatic respiratory infections (SRI). Clinical data were collected daily, and pharyngeal and nasal specimens were obtained routinely for microbiological analyses. Subjects experienced 61 episodes of asthma, and 42 of these were coincident with an apparent SRI. Asthmatic attacks occurred with 38 of 49 severe SRI, but only 4 of 22 mild SRI were similarly associated. Asthma was precipitated during 21 of 23 severe SRI of viral origin, but in only one of six severe SRI of bacterial origin. Fourteen of 15 rhinovirus infections that resulted in severe SRI and all episodes of A2/Hong Kong influenza were associated with attacks of asthma. No asthma was noted during episodes of asymptomatic virus shedding.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
