In comparison, AUROCs for bacterial vs. viral/noninfected patients for other biomarkers used to diagnose bacterial infections were as follows: PCT (0.88, 95%CI 0.79–0.96), CRP (0.80, 95% CI 0.72–89), and white blood cell counts (0.78, 95% CI 0.69–0.87) (Fig. 2e). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is bacterial infectious disease.
