Early-life respiratory infections are linked to asthma onset, according to this article, which also addresses new methods that target these infectious agents for asthma prevention. Early-life viral infections, notably respiratory syncytial virus and human rhinovirus, have been linked to childhood asthma, according to a growing body of research. Asthma may be caused by viruses that play diverse roles in the development of the disease. Virus–bacteria interactions in early life and the airway microbiome have been identified as new asthma risk factors in children. Effective primary and secondary preventive methods for children with asthma may be found in innovative ways for preventing or attenuating certain early-life infections.

Asthma development is heavily influenced by infections contracted in childhood. Asthma develops as a result of the complicated interplay between the virus type, genetics, and environmental variables throughout early childhood. Trials to prove the effectiveness of novel intervention techniques that target these infectious agents have been conducted, but further research is needed to evaluate their effectiveness in preventing asthmatic episodes.
