Abstract
Cytokine and TLR4 polymorphisms and their association with the infection history of 129 children hospitalized for bronchiolitis during the first 6 months of life were analyzed. The carriers of IFNG +874 T/A allele A had fewer infections and use of inhaled corticosteroids and the carriers of TLR4+896 A/G allele G were more likely to need tympanostomy than noncarriers.Entities:
