Abstract

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.
