The levels of (1,3)-β-D-glucan (BDG) in specimens of endotracheal aspirate (a, TA), bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (b, BAL), and serum (c), categorized by different diagnoses. CP = Candida pneumonia. The shallow cycle indicates overlap of 2 outliers (180.8 and 178.0 pg/ml). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. Statistical evaluations were performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Mann-Whitney U test
