Figure 2. Correlations of the viral genomic load (measured as the inverse cycle threshold value) with 20 most significant metabolites.
Data based on serum metabolomics among infants with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-only (n=79) compared to those with rhinovirus (RV)-only (n=37) bronchiolitis. Only the 20 most significant metabolites are shown. Canonical correlations are based on sparse partial least squares (sPLS) analysis of the metabolite intensity with the inverse viral genomic load. The row dendrogram is colored according to the metabolite being increased in RSV-only (red) or RV-only (green); the metabolite names are colored according to their super-pathway.
