Abstract: Rhinovirus(RV)can cause infection of the lower respiratory tract.Along with the development of polymerase chain reaction techniques,the detection rate of RV has obviously increased.The role of RV in respiratory tract infection has been paid more and more attention.After RV infection,it releases many kinds of inflammatory mediators,which can cause corresponding inflammation reaction and hyper-reaction of airway,decrease the function of lungs,and up-regulate the expression of adherence genes on the epithelia of bronchus that results in related airway dysfunction,and then cause symptoms in general respiratory tract.Some viruses can be detected during asthma attack,and the most frequent one is RV.The early wheezing caused by RV is the important dangerous element for recurrence of wheezing.RV infection may be more common than respiratory syncytial virus infection in recurrent wheezing.
