Maternal stressful life events during pregnancy have been associated with immune dysregulation and increased risk for asthma and atopy in offspring.

We sought to examine the relationship between the nature and timing of maternal stress in pregnancy and hospitalisation with infection in offspring. ...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes annual epidemics of infections affecting the whole population. In vitro, it has been shown to infect and persist in human dendritic cells (DCs) for prolonged periods. Initially persistence is associated with low levels of replication before the virus becomes dormant. Reactivation of viral replication can be triggered many months later. ...
