FRAGMENTO
El 40 a 70 % de los lactantes con bronquiolitis viral aguda presentan sibilancias durante los 2 a 3 años siguientes en el curso de las infecciones respiratorias (1). La causa de estos episodios recurrentes de obstrucción bronquial tras la bronquiolitis no está suficientemente establecida. Algunos estudios señalan que los lactantes que desarrollan una bronquiolitis y a continuación cuadros posteriores de sibilancias, es porque presentan una respuesta inmunoalérgica Th2 (2) o un desequilibrio inmunológico que se expresaría desde el nacimiento por una baja tasa de IL-12 (3).
