Receiver Operator Characteristic curves of a positive blood culture of Bacillus spp. (A) Prediction using the temperature alone and (B) prediction based on temperature plus absolute humidity. The relationships between sensitivity (true positives) and 1-specificity (true negatives) in determining the diagnostic performances of these climatological variables for predicting a positive blood culture of Bacillus spp. In both panels, the time lag of six days was taken.
