Article Synopsis
- Bronchiolitis is a major reason infants are hospitalized in their first year and is more common in babies born to mothers with asthma.
- The study analyzed cord blood granulocytes (eosinophils and neutrophils) from 89 infants, examining their relationship to bronchiolitis hospitalization over the first year.
- Results showed higher eosinophil levels in cord blood were linked to increased risk of bronchiolitis hospitalization, indicating that early immune cell profiles may affect vulnerability to this condition later on.
