Forward2015 VAM: 3307 - The ABCs of Rhinovirus Infections and Asthma
This recording will evaluate the evidence of airway hyper responsiveness during rhinovirus induced asthma exacerbations. The potential mechanisms for this problem will be discussed from an innate and adaptive immune perspective. Infections with respiratory viruses, and most commonly rhinoviruses, are the most frequent trigger for exacerbations of asthma.
