A Multicentre Preliminary Study of the Effect of Recombinant Human Interferon α1b Treatment of Infants Hospitalized with Lower Respiratory Tract Infection on Subsequent Wheezing
Abstract:Background: To investigate the impact of recombinant human interferon α1b (rhIFNα1b) treatment of infants hospitalized with lower respiratory tract infections on subsequent wheezing.Methods: The clinical data of infants in 19 hospitals with viral pneumonia, wheezy bronchitis, or bronchiolitis were retrospectively reviewed from June 2009 to June 2015 (age, gender, diagnosis, the use of rhIFNα1b when in hospital).
