Sample AGM index cutoff
Single serum or plasma ≥1.0
BAL fluid* ≥1.0
Single serum when concomitant BAL fluid AGM ≥0.8 ≥0.7
BAL fluid when concomitant serum or plasma ≥0.7 ≥0.8
Cerebrospinal fluid [44] ≥0.0
*
By increasing the AGM index cutoff to 1.0 in BAL fluid, the specificity increases at the expense of sensitivity [45].
