Treatment strategy may reduce infants’ wheezing caused by virus
The antibiotic azithromycin may reduce the risk of
recurrent wheezing in infants hospitalized with a common respiratory
infection, according to a small pilot study at the School of Medicine. Reduced wheezing may lower an infant’s
risk of developing asthma over the next several years, according to the
researchers, including first author Avraham Beigelman, MD.
