Fig. 3From: Combined use of serum (1,3)-β-d-glucan and procalcitonin for the early differential diagnosis between candidaemia and bacteraemia in intensive care unitsPerformance of BDG and PCT for the diagnosis of candidaemia over bacteraemia in the study population. The area under the ROC curve was 0.919 for (1,3)-β-d-glucan (BDG) (95% CI 0.875–0.962) and 0.789 for procalcitonin (PCT) (95% CI 0.720–0.856). The points on the curves with the maximum Youden Index were 113 pg/ml for BDG and 1.93 ng/ml for PCT. Diagnostic performances of the two markers used alone or combined are detailed in Tables 2 and 3, respectivelyBack to article page
