Positive association of breastfeeding on respiratory syncytial virus infection in hospitalized infants: a multicenter retrospective study
Min Jeong Jang, Yong Joo Kim, Shinhye Hong, Jaeyoon Na, Jong Hee Hwang, Son Moon Shin, Young Min Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2020;63(4):135-140.   Published online November 12, 2019
Question: Human milk has stronger antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties compared with formula milk. How dose breastfeeding affect respiratory syncytial virus infection in Korea?
Finding: Breastfed infants required less oxygen therapy and possible intensive care unit admission than artificial formulafed infants during respiratory syncytial virus infection.
Meaning: This protective role of breast milk on RSV severity can be a supporting evidence for promoting breastfeeding in Korea.

Yanghua Ju, Seung Jun Choi, Huisu Lee, Hyun Sook Kim, Sulmui Won, Yoon Hong Chun, Jong-Seo Yoon, Hyun Hee Kim, Joon Sung Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2011;54(11):456-462.   Published online November 30, 2011
Purpose

Synthesis of regulated on activation, normal T-cells expressed and secreted (RANTES) in the airway has previously been shown to be elevated after respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. However, since few studies have examined whether RSV-infected asthma patients express a higher level of RANTES than do normal individuals, we used a murine model of asthma to address this question.

Nam Kyun Kim, Jae Young Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2011;54(5):197-200.   Published online May 31, 2011

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of respiratory infection in children.

Impact of Host Genetics on Susceptibility and Outcome of Viral Infections
Eun Hwa Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(8):815-820.   Published online August 15, 2004
The generation of a draft sequence of the human genome has lead to an opportunity to characterize human diversity, including the differences in host response to numerous pathogens. Host responses upon exposure to a pathogen can determine the wide spectrum of illness from subclinical or mild to severe diseases. Host factors, particularly genetic backgrounds, influence the pathogenesis of infectious diseases....
