Correlation between the levels of PCT, CRP, EOS and FEV1/FVC ratio in infected group
| Statistics | PCT (μg/L) | CRP (mg/L) | EOS (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| r | -0.564 | -0.338 | -0.417 |
| P | <0.001 | 0.003 | 0.021 |
Note: EOS: eosinophil; PCT: procalcitonin; CRP: C-reactive protein; FEV1/FVC: forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity.
