Abstract
Rhinoviruses cause the common cold and exacerbations of asthma. Animal models of infection have identified a protective role for interleukin-18 (IL-18). Following experimental rhinovirus infection, we observed increased respiratory symptoms in healthy and asthmatic subjects with low nasal and bronchial IL-18 levels.Entities:
