Study Summary

Nature of potential dysbiosis, interrelation of the different microbiomes of the respiratory tract, and potential role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of severe asthma in infants, and its evolution under treatment.

Exploring and understanding these data is to improve patient care and discover new therapeutic targets.

The aim is to open up prospects for therapeutic studies, such as the use of azithromycin as an immunomodulator in infant asthma, the results of which are discordant.
