The concentration of IL-10 was not found to be different between the RV group and the RSV group (18.93±16.17 pg/mL vs. 23.34± 15.44 pg/mL, P=0.08); however, there was significant difference between patients with wheezing and without wheezing (23.74± 16.14 pg/mL vs. 10.77±11.95 pg/mL, P=0.001). In the RV group, the 2) . In the RSV group, the concentration of IL-10 did not reach statistical significance between in the patients without wheezing and in the patients with wheezing (23.80±16.13 pg/mL vs. 21.86±12.89 pg/ mL, P=0.965) (Fig. 2) . Especially, the concentration of IL-10 was not significantly different between the RV group with wheezing and the RSV group with wheezing (25.70±16.43 pg/mL vs. 23.80±16.13 pg/mL, P=0.801) (Fig. 2) , in contrast with significant difference between the RV group without wheezing and the RSV group without wheezing (11.31±11.95 pg/mL vs. 21.86±12.89 pg/mL, P=0.035) (Fig. 2) .
