graphic file with name alm-33-105-i003.jpg

Values are presented as percentages.

Cut-off values for each parameter: NLR* <7.0; CRP† < 7.0 mg/dL; WBC‡ <10.100×109/L; neutrophil§ <7.740×109/L; lymphocyte∥ >1.001×109/L.

Abbreviations: TB, tuberculosis; CAP, community-acquired pneumonia; NLR, neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio; CRP, C-reactive protein; WBC, white blood cell; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value.
