Ct values (a) and Betaglucan levels (b) with medians and interquartile ranges in serum samples obtained from patients with severe, mild and no Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP). Medians were compared by Mann Whitney U-test. Three PCP patients whose serum samples had been analysed after 1:2 dilution (a) and one patient whose serum sample was not analyzed for BG due to insufficient volume of serum (b) were excluded
