Results of serum BG levels from mice enrolled in the study.

Note: The reference values established for fungal infections and the baseline limits of the method are optimized to measure the β-1,3-D-glucan serum/plasma levels from humans. However the same values were adopted for this study: Negative: <60 pg/ml; Indeterminate: 60–79 pg/ml; Positive: >80 pg/ml; Upper limit: ≤500 pg/ml; Lower limit ≥31 pg/ml.
