Extracellular Hsp72 in tracheal aspirates of critically ill children. Tracheal aspirates from children with pneumonia, RSV, RSV with pneumonia, or controls without bacterial or viral infection on Day 1 (D1) or Day 3 (D3) of hospitalization. Tracheal aspirates were clarified and analyzed for Hsp72 levels by ELISA. In each case, bars represent each sample from 5–12 patients and the line represents the mean and differences pinpointed by ANOVA (compared to D1 control *p < 0.001; compared to D3 control **p < 0.001). Statistics are also shown to compare the disease groups.
