BACKGROUND: Viral bronchiolitis presents a heterogeneous spectrum. In this study, we investigated the clinical characteristics and the cytokines/chemokines profiles among respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), rhinovirus (RV), and their dual infection in Taiwanese children with viral bronchiolitis. METHOD: This study was conducted between October 2014 and June 2017. Viral etiology was identified using a Luminex respiratory virus panel and blood cytokines were evaluated using a MILLIPLEX MAP Human Cytokine/Chemokine Panel. Cytokine/Chemokine expressions were compared by clinical severity, steroid treatment, and viral entities. RESULTS: A total of 184 patients were evaluated; at least one respiratory virus was identified in 163 (88.6%) patients. RSV and RV were the two leading viral etiologies, with 25.5% and 17.3%, respectively. RV bronchiolitis has a comparable severity to RSV but is more common in children of an older age with a history of recurrent wheezing and blood eosinophilia. Decreased tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interferon gamma (INF-γ) levels were correlated with clinical severity. Patients infected with RV exhibited higher levels of Interleukin (IL)-22, IL-23, IL-25, IL-31, and IL-33 (p < 0.05), whereas those with RSV had higher levels of TNF-α, INF-γ, and IL-10 (p < 0.05). Systemic steroid treatment was associated with higher expressions of IL-4, IL-8, IL-13, and MIP-1α levels (p < 0.05). Cluster analysis revealed a high correlation of IL-33 and IL-31(R2 = 0.9731, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Different viral infections elicited the characteristic clinical presentation and immune profiles in bronchiolitis. Our findings also highlight the role of the IL-33/IL-31 axis in the immunopathogenesis of bronchiolitis.
