Heparin-Binding Protein in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid as a Biomarker for Discriminating Severe Bacterial and Viral Pneumonia in Critically Ill Children

<div>Blood and BALF HBP and IL-6 concentrations and N% in different patient groups. Blood and BALF HBP concentrations in patients with bacterial pneumonia (a) and with viral pneumonia (b), IL-6 concentrations in patients with bacterial pneumonia (c) and with viral pneumonia (d), N% in patients with bacterial pneumonia (e) and with viral pneumonia (f). HBP: heparin-binding protein; IL-6: interleukin-6; N%: neutrophil percentage; BALF: bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Error bars: 95.00% confidence interval.</div>
