Abstract Background Protective host responses to respiratory pathogens are typically characterized by inflammation. However lung inflammation is not always protective and it may even become deleterious to the host. We have recently reported substantial protection against Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumococcal pneumonia by induction of a robust inflammatory innate immune response to an inhaled bacterial lysate. Conversely the allergic inflammation associated with asthma has been proposed to promote susceptibility to pneumococcal disease. This study sought to determine whether preexisting allergic .
