Figure Lengend Snippet: Plasma calprotectin ROC curves. Panel A shows the comparison between healthy negative control group and negative SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR patient group (AUC = 0.8872, p < 0.0001); panel B shows the comparison between healthy negative control group and positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR patient group (AUC = 0.9684, p < 0.0001); panel C shows the comparison between negative SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR patient group and positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR patient group (AUC = 0.7257, p < 0.0001)
