IgG response against Scedosporium boydii Total WCP extract of cystic fibrosis patients. Patients with positive sputum cultures for Scedosporium/Lomentospora are classified into group Scedo+, with positive cultures for Aspergillus spp. into group Asp+, and cultures without any recovery of these fungi into group Scedo-/Asp-. Antibody responses are represented by the relative Abs value at 450 nm obtained for each serum. The four cut-off values obtained are depicted as solid, dotted and dashed lines. Wide horizontal lines depict the median, and short horizontal lines represent the interquartile range (IQR). Median value obtained for group Scedo+ is significantly different from that obtained for each of the other two groups, and for the sum of both (as negative samples) (^***p < 0.001).
