- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The primary outcome is the difference in immunorespons after RSV LRTI in<br /><br>children with DS and 'healthy' peers. The difference will be stated upon: RSV<br /><br>specific cytokine production; total number of T-cells, B-cells, Antigen<br /><br>Presenting Cells, Natural Killer cells and Dendritic cells; general cytokine<br /><br>expression.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Age, sex and ethnic background will be taken into account as variables in the<br /><br>analyses.</p><br>
