Diagnostic Role of C-reactive Protein, Procalcitonin and Lipopolysaccharide-Binding Protein in Discriminating Bacterial-Community Acquired Pneumonia from 2009 H1N1 Influenza A Infection / 결핵및호흡기질환
Enrolled patients included 27 with community acquired bacterial pneumonia, 20 with 2009 H1N1 Influenza A infection, and 26 who were healthy controls. In an ROC analysis for discriminating community acquired bacterial pneumonia from 2009 H1N1 influenza A infection, areas under the curve (AUCs) were 0.799 for CRP (95% Confidence interval [CI], 0.664~0.934), 0.753 for PCT (95% CI, 0.613~0.892) and 0.684 for LBP (95% CI, 0.531~0.837). Copeptin was not different among the three groups.
