Bronchiolitis phenotypes identified by latent class analysis may influence the occurrence of respiratory sequelae.

LCA clearly identified a "moderate", "severe," and "high eosinophils blood count" bronchiolitis. During the first 4 years after bronchiolitis, the "severe" profile showed the higher risk of wheezing, but after 7 years this risk seems higher in the "high eosinophils blood count" group.
