Background The inflammatory chemokine, interferon-gamma inducible protein of 10 kDa (IP-
10), is a biomarker associated with several conditions. Objectives This study investigated

infection (ARI). The hypothesis is that serum IP-10 concentrations correlate with ARI severity
and detection of viral pathogens. Study design Data come from a randomized controlled trial
measuring the effects of mindfulness meditation or exercise on ARI (Clinical Trials ID …
