Correlation of Betaglucan and PCR Ct values in serum. Values of betaglucan and PCR Ct in serum from 29 patients with positive Pj PCR in serum samples. Black dots represent patients with PCP (n = 23), and red dots represent HIV-infected controls (n = 6). Three patients with 1:2 diluted serum samples out of which one also had inconclusive BG result were excluded. Correlation was assessed by Spearman’s correlation coefficient: r = − 0.5 (− 0.7 to − 0.1), p < 0.01
