Distribution of BDG and PCT serum levels in patients with bacteraemia or candidaemia. Box plots of the distribution of serum (1,3)-β-d-glucan (BDG) and procalcitonin (PCT) in study patients, divided according to the type of infection. BDG values lower than 80 pg/ml and higher than 500 pg/ml were considered as 79 pg/ml and 501 pg/ml, respectively. Outliers for PCT values >30 ng/ml are not displayed in the graph
