Analysis of the local and systemic inflammatory response in hospitalized infants with respiratory syncitial virus bronchiolitis

Abstract: This study shows that RSV triggers an inflammatory response fundamentally at the respiratory level, with scant systemic repercussion. This local response is characterized by an increase in Th1 and Th2 cytokines, although with a relative predominance of Th1. The determination upon patient admission of IL-6 and MIP-1β levels in NPA, and of MIP-1β in PB could help predict severe forms and the need for oxygenotherapy.

“…In a previous study by our research group interleukin levels were used to analyse the inflammatory response in hospitalised infants with respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis. In the current study, we detected a significant negative correlation between the GSH/GSSG ratio and the levels of IL‐6 ( P : 0.014), IL‐8 ( P : 0.014) and IL‐10 ( P : 0.033).…”

“…The plasma levels of interleukins have also been studied in RSV‐induced respiratory infections . Clinical manifestations of AB are mainly respiratory, although some studies have detected interleukin activity in the peripheral blood and that an elevation in the serum levels of some interleukins is associated with the severity of AB . To our knowledge, there are no current investigations of the association between OS biomarkers and the inflammatory response induced by RSV‐AB, which is measured through interleukin levels.…”

“…Th1 lymphocytes produce tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) and interferon-gamma (IFNγ) which enhance the in ammatory response, whereas Th2 lymphocytes produce interleukins 4 (IL-4), 5 (IL-5), 13 (IL-13), which are associated with the promotion of IgE and IL-10 showing an anti-in ammatory response. A prevalence of either Th1 or Th2 cytokines or even a mixed Th1-Th2 in ammatory response has been reported in different studies, with contradictory results that point out the complexity of the regulatory mechanisms that modulate the in ammatory/anti-in ammatory response in bronchiolitis [13][14][15][16][17] .…”

“…1 RSV infection also induces a wide spectrum of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, 5,6 which have been suggested to contribute to the pathogenesis of RSV-induced bronchiolitis. 7,8 In murine models, early-life RSV infection leads to sensitization against multiple allergens and development of type 2 immune responses, including acute eosinophilia in the lungs. [9][10][11] Th2 cytokines, such as IL-5 and IL-13, are elevated in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of RSV-infected children, 12,13 suggesting a role for these cytokines in RSV pathogenesis.…”
