Investigating the role of pentraxin 3 as a biomarker for bacterial infection in subjects with COPD
BACKGROUND: Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is an acute phase protein, involved in antibacterial resistance. Recent studies have shown PTX3 levels to be elevated in the presence of a bacterial infection and in a murine sepsis model. OBJECTIVE: We aim to investigate if sputum PTX3 can be used as a biomarker for b...
