About this trial
Acute bronchiolitis is a common disease in children under the age of two, caused mainly by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Furthermore, given the same medical history, it is still very difficult to predict the course and severity of the infection at the onset of symptoms, Some studies have highlighted the importance of the microbiota (intestinal, oral or nasopharyngeal) and of the immune response to RSV in children, We will include 80 children under 2 years old with hospitalized bronchiolitis and non-hospitalized bronchiolitis. Oral, nasal and stool samples will be taken to study the various microbiota in search of dysbiosis. A capillary blood sample will be taken for immune studies.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Dysbiosis
comparison of the quantitative and qualitative composition of bacteria (alpha diversity, beta diversity, Shannon and Simpson index) in the digestive and nasopharyngeal microbiota
Secondary outcomes
Measurement of innate and adaptive responses by quantification of cytokines and chemokines in plasma
Inflammatory/regulatory cytokines (IL1-\>17, IL-10, TGF-b, EGF, FGF-2, IFN-alpha, IFN-gamma, IFN-beta, MCRP-1 MCP-3, TNF-alpha...), cytokines of adaptative response (Th1, Th17, Th2 and/or Treg), markers of inflammatory response (interferon, TNFa, …), quantified by Luminex
Identifying the mRNA profile in blood samples and nasal swabs
mRNA will be identified by using RNA-Seq (Illumina)
Sequencing viral strains for mutation
Typing of respiratory syncytial virus-A (RSV-A) and B (RSV-B) and sequencing of strains (Amplicons)
Comparison of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) antibodies levels on newborn screening specimen and on capillary swab during infection
Levels of RSV antibodies will be measured and compared between newborn screening specimen and capillary swab during infection
