Скачать или смотреть RSV Vaccines: A Potential Game-Changer for Asthma Prevention

Did you know that early-infancy infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) could be a significant trigger for childhood asthma? Belgian and Danish researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery, published in Science Immunology, suggesting that protecting newborns from RSV might reduce asthma cases later in life.
In this video, we delve into the complex interplay between early viral infections, genetic risk, and the immune system's response. Learn how severe RSV infections in infants, especially those with a family history of allergies or asthma, can lead to an increased risk of asthma.
But there's hope! The study highlights that preventing RSV infection in newborns can prevent harmful immune shifts and potentially stop asthma development. With maternal vaccination and passive immunization becoming more accessible, we explore how these interventions could revolutionize respiratory health and benefit families and healthcare systems.
Join us as we discuss this exciting research and its implications for asthma prevention and long-term respiratory health.
