My training, backed up by frequent experience when working as both a pri mary care provider and as a hospitalist, is that a significant fraction of infants after respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis will maintain twitchy airways for 3-6 months, during which time a simple URI seems to flare their albuterol-responsive lower respiratory tract wheezing, just as URIs do for asthmatics.
