Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children under one year of age in the United States. The host immune response is believed to contribute to RSV-induced disease. We hypothesize that severe RSV infection in infants is mediated by insufficient regulation of the host immune response of regulatory T cells (Tregs) resulting in immunopathology. Blood and nasal aspirates from 23 RSV-infected and 17 control infants under 1 year of age were collected. Treg frequencies were determined by flow cytometry from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Analysis of 24 cytokines was measured by multiplex assay on nasal aspirates. We demonstrate that the frequency of activated Tregs is significantly reduced in the peripheral blood of RSV-infected infants compared to age-matched controls. Surprisingly, Th17 related cytokines including IL-1β, IL-17A, and IL-23 were associated with a reduction in clinical symptoms of respiratory distress. In addition, the amount of IL-33 protein in nasal washes, a cytokine important in maintaining Treg homeostasis in mucosal tissues, was decreased in RSV-infected children. These results suggest that decreased Treg numbers and an inability to properly control the host inflammatory response results in severe RSV infection.
