Research from Flinders University yields new findings on allergies immunology

Scientists discuss in "Immunomodulatory constituents of human milk change in response to infant bronchiolitis" new findings in allergies. "Although epidemiological evidence is generally supportive of a causal association between respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis during infancy and the development of persistent wheeze/asthma, if not allergy, the mechanism by which this occurs and an explanation for why all children do not succumb remains to be elucidated.
