ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Collectin family is an important component of innate immunity, of which surfactant protein (SP)-D and mannose-binding lectin (MBL) are the most characterized. We examined SP-D and MBL in young children with acute respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis.METHODS:
Sixty-three children (7 days of hospital stay. All children were evaluated if they had recurrent wheezing during follow-up. SP-D and MBL were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in serum collected on admission and compared with controls. Their levels were evaluated in relation to the symptom severity during admission and recurrence of wheezing after discharge.RESULTS:
Serum SP-D increased significantly in the patients (P<0.01), but MBL showed no difference compared to the controls. SP-D levels were significantly higher in severe group compared with nonsevere group (P<0.05). SP-D levels in the patients with recurrent wheezing after discharge were significantly higher than in those without (P<0.05). MBL showed no difference in relation to the symptom severity or recurrence of wheezing.CONCLUSION:
Our study showed that serum SP-D was associated with the severity of RSV bronchiolitis and suggests that it might be a biomarker of lung injury and recurrence of wheezing illnesses in the young children admitted with their first RSV bronchiolitis.
