Impact of Airway Virus in Severe Asthmatic Patients: A Pilot Study
Abstract
The lungs have their own microbiota which seems to be altered in disease processes such as asthma. Viral infection accounts for many asthma exacerbations. Little is known about the lung virome, and the role that viruses play in non-exacerbating asthmatics. We aimed to assess if detection of virus in bronchoscopy samples of asthmatic patients in a non-exacerbating state influences their asthma control and modulates airway cytokine composition. …
