hand a previous study from the COPSAC cohort showed that neonates colonized <strong>in</strong> the hypopharyngeal<br />
region with S. pneumonia, H. <strong>in</strong>fluenza, or M. catarrharlis, or with a comb<strong>in</strong>ation, were at<br />
<strong>in</strong>creased risk for recurrent wheeze and asthma early <strong>in</strong> life (23). Future studies may consider co<strong>in</strong>fections<br />
with other viral or bacterial <strong>in</strong>fections responsible for different response to RSV <strong>in</strong>fection<br />
and the development of asthma (77).<br />
Conclusions<br />
Bronchial hyperresponsiveness <strong>in</strong> newborns were not predictive of later development of RSV bronchiolitis<br />
nor did basel<strong>in</strong>e lung <strong>function</strong> seem to predict though the confidence limit of comparison<br />
was wide. This study suggests that the dist<strong>in</strong>guish<strong>in</strong>g feature is not a mechanical but maybe an environmental<br />
exposure or genetic disposition.<br />
