Respiratory and Gut Microbiome Modification during Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is a major cause of lower respiratory tract infection, especially in infants, and increases the risk of recurrent wheezing and asthma. Recently, researchers have proposed a possible association between respiratory diseases and microbiome alterations. However, this connection has not been fully established. Herein, we conducted a systematic literature review to evaluate the reported evidence of microbiome alterations in patients with RSV infection.

Methods

The systematic literature review on the association between RSV and microbiome in humans was conducted by searching PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and CINAHL from 2012 until February 2022. The results were analyzed qualitatively, focusing on the relationship between microbiome
