Table II.

Mean results for markers in the two groups [median (P25-P75)].

Group PCT (ng/ml) CRP (mg/l) MCV (%) RDW (%) PDW (%) NLCR (%)
Positive 9.27 (1.34–38.53) 147.0 (55.9–200.0) 90.6 (86.6–93.3) 14.1 (13.4–15.2) 12.4 (11.1–15.1) 16.9 (9.8–26.5)
Negative 0.18 (0.05–0.86)   55.9 (19.7–119.2) 91.6 (88.2–94.4) 13.6 (12.7–14.7) 11.6 (10.6–12.6) 8.38 (4.4–16.0)
Z-value −6.270 −3.586 −3.586 −2.318 −2.544 −4.078
P-value <0.001 <0.001 0.274 0.020 0.011 <0.001

Mann-Whitney U-test was carried out to compare results between the two groups. P25, 25th percentile; P75, 75th percentile; PCT, procalcitonin; CRP, C-reactive protein; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; RDW, red blood cell distribution width; PDW, platelet distribution width; NLCR, neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio.
