Research Article: Clinical application of Myxovirus resistance protein A as a diagnostic biomarker to differentiate viral and bacterial respiratory infections in pediatric patients

Date Published: 2025-02-19

Abstract:
Background: Differentiating between viral and bacterial respiratory tract infections in pediatric patients remains a significant diagnostic challenge, often leading to the overuse of antibiotics. Myxovirus resistance protein A (MxA) has been identified as a promising biomarker for viral infections. This study aimed to assess the fluctuations in blood MxA levels among children with viral respiratory infections and to explore the differences in MxA levels between viral and bacterial infections, focusing on clinical implications for antibiotic use.
