Moreover, IP-10 levels were higher when the viral infection was associated with a pulmonary pathology (e.g., respiratory syncytial virus, influenza A, influenza B, human coronavirus, and SARS-Cov-2) than when the infection had a non-pulmonary pathology (e.g., human rhinovirus; pairwise comparison, p < 0.02). Here, CXCL10 is linked to viral infectious disease.
