Viral Determinants of Childhood Asthma Exacerbation Severity and Treatment Response.
Background: Although respiratory viruses are common triggers of asthma exacerbations, the influence of viral infection characteristics on exacerbation presentation and treatment response in the pediatric emergency department (ED) is unclear.
Objective: To assess viral infection characteristics of children experiencing ED asthma exacerbations and to test their associations with severity and treatment response.
Methods: This is a prospective study of children, aged 4 to 18 years, who received standard ED asthma exacerbation treatment with inhaled bronchodilators and systemic corticosteroids. Nasal swabs collected for viral metagenomic analyses determined virus presence, load, and species. Outcomes included exacerbation severity (Pediatric Asthma Severity [PAS] score, clinician impression, and vital signs) and treatment response (discharge home without needing additional asthma therapies).
Results: Of 107 children, 47% had moderate/severe exacerbations by PAS and 64% demonstrated treatment response. Viral metagenomic analysis on nasal swabs from 73 children detected virus in 86%, with 10 different species identified, primarily rhinovirus A (RV-A), RV-C, and enterovirus D68. Exacerbations involving RV-A were milder (odds ratio [OR] = 0.25; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.07-0.83) and tended to be more responsive to treatment than non-RV-A infections, whereas exacerbations involving enterovirus D68 were more severe (OR = 8.3; 95% CI = 1.3-164.7) and had no treatment response association. Viral load was not associated with treatment response but exhibited a strong linear relationship with heart rate (rpartial = 0.48), respiratory rate (rpartial = 0.25), and oxygen saturation (rpartial = -0.25), indicative of severity.
Conclusions: The majority of ED asthma exacerbations are triggered by respiratory viruses. Viral species are associated with severity and treatment response, suggesting that early pathogen detection could inform ED treatment decisions. Additional studies are needed to identify differences in pathobiology underlying exacerbations triggered by different viral species, and how to effectively treat these heterogeneous exacerbations.
期刊介绍:
JACI: In Practice is an official publication of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). It is a companion title to The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and it aims to provide timely clinical papers, case reports, and management recommendations to clinical allergists and other physicians dealing with allergic and immunologic diseases in their practice. The mission of JACI: In Practice is to offer valid and impactful information that supports evidence-based clinical decisions in the diagnosis and management of asthma, allergies, immunologic conditions, and related diseases.
This journal publishes articles on various conditions treated by allergist-immunologists, including food allergy, respiratory disorders (such as asthma, rhinitis, nasal polyps, sinusitis, cough, ABPA, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis), drug allergy, insect sting allergy, anaphylaxis, dermatologic disorders (such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, urticaria, angioedema, and HAE), immunodeficiency, autoinflammatory syndromes, eosinophilic disorders, and mast cell disorders.
The focus of the journal is on providing cutting-edge clinical information that practitioners can use in their everyday practice or to acquire new knowledge and skills for the benefit of their patients. However, mechanistic or translational studies without immediate or near future clinical relevance, as well as animal studies, are not within the scope of the journal.
