Rhinovirus infections in infancy may predict development of persistent wheezing
Rhinovirus infections occur more commonly in fall and spring, and their findings convincingly demonstrate that 63% of infants who wheezed during these seasons continued to wheeze in the third year of life compared to only 20% of all other infants.
Thus, infants who wheeze with respiratory infections during rhinovirus seasons should be followed closely during early childhood so that therapy can be instituted both acutely and/or or chronically that may help reduce the frequency and/or severity of any future wheezing episodes.

 Rhinovirus
West Lafayette, IND (4/13/98)- The determination of the three-dimensional structure the receptor used by the rhinovirus could lead to the long-sought treatment for the common cold.
The current research reveals that the rhinovirus bypasses the structure ICAM-1 uses to bind to white blood cells, and binds instead to another part of the receptor to gain entry into the cell, says Jordi Bella, a postdoctoral researcher working with Rossmann on the study.
While the new findings could lead to ways to slow down rhinovirus infection, it may not slow down the 30% of colds caused by other viruses, he added.

 Laboratory Diagnosis of Rhinoviruses Infection, Rhinovirus Diagnosis
The diversity of rhinovirus serotypes and the lack of cross-protection during reinfection with heterologus serotypes makes prevention by vaccination unlikely to succeed.
Attention has therefore focused on the development of antiviral molecules such as interferons and synthetic anti- rhinovirus compounds which could be used therapeutically as well as prophylactically.
One of these compounds, R61837 was shown to be effective in vivo when it significantly suppressed the appearance of colds in volunteers given this compound prophylactically.
