Abstract
⺠Severe RSV infection is a risk factor for later recurrent wheezing in Chilean children. ⺠Genetic polymorphisms in genes of IL-4/IL-13 pathway are associated with the severity of RSV infection and its outcome. ⺠A common protector polymorphism is proposed for Chilean children: IL-4Rα Ile/Ile.
