To assess MUC5AC as a biomarker for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease severity, we tested nasal aspirates from RSV+ children with mild, moderate, and severe disease. Levels were significantly higher in those in the severe and moderate groups compared to mild group, indicating MUC5AC may be a useful biomarker for RSV disease severity.
为了评估黏蛋白 5AC(MUC5AC)作为呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)疾病严重程度的生物标志物,我们检测了患有轻度、中度和重度 RSV 疾病的儿童的鼻抽吸物。与轻度组相比,严重组和中度组的水平明显更高,表明 MUC5AC 可能是 RSV 疾病严重程度的有用生物标志物。
