The AUROC results for the three biomarkers are summarized for distinction between bacterial and mycoplasma pneumonia vs respiratory viral infections.
| Diagnosis | AUROC (95% CI) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Calprotectin | HBP | PCT | |
| Bacterial pneumonia | 0.76 (0.67–0.86) | 0.64 (0.52–0.74)* | 0.74 (0.63–0.82) |
| Mycoplasma pneumonia | 0.88 (0.77–0.95) | 0.52 (0.40–0.64)*** | 0.53 (0.41–0.65)*** |
