It has been estimated that children with a history of RSV-LRTI have a 2- to 12-fold higher risk of developing asthma. The connection between RSV infection and a developmental trajectory of reduced lung function remains throughout adolescence and early adulthood, suggesting a possible role for RSV even in the inception of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. That is why the postnatal period appears to offer a specific window of opportunity for early intervention to prevent chronic obstructive lung diseases. The mechanisms by which RSV contributes to the onset of wheezing\/asthma and lung function impairment are not fully understood but appear to relate to injury caused directly by the virus and\/or to pre-existing predisposing factors. While awaiting a deeper understanding of the association between RSV and chronic lung diseases, the crucial role of pediatricians and physicians is to develop strategies to prevent RSV infections to try and protect children's lifelong respiratory health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Key Points<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1714345","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,9]],"date-time":"2020-08-09T18:31:23Z","timestamp":1596997883000},"page":"S26-S30","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"special_numbering":"S","title":["Evidence on the Link between Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection in Early Life and Chronic Obstructive Lung Diseases"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Eugenio","family":"Baraldi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Department of Women's and Children's Health, University of Padova, Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Bonadies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Department of Women's and Children's Health, University of Padova, Padova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Manzoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maternal-Infant Medicine, University Hospital \u201cDegli Infermi,\u201d Ponderano, Biella, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"888","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-2600(15)00255-6","article-title":"Lower respiratory tract infection caused by respiratory syncytial virus: current management and new therapeutics","volume":"3","author":"N I Mazur","year":"2015","journal-title":"Lancet Respir Med"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"34","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.201405-0901PP","article-title":"Toward primary prevention of asthma.
