We recruited 164 infants (age < 6 months) hospitalized for bronchiolitis in this study and determined TLR5 rs5744174 (C > T) single nucleotide polymorphism, virus etiology and severity markers of bronchiolitis, and presence of post‐bronchiolitis asthma until age 11 to 13 years. This evidence concerns the gene TLR5 and bronchiolitis.
