Respiratory viral infections in a cohort of children during the first year of life and their role in the development of wheezing.

Few data have been published on unselected populations. The main aim of this study was to analyse symptomatic and asymptomatic respiratory viral infections during the first year of life in a cohort of infants, recruited at birth, and the development of recurrent wheezing.
