    Snippet: Liao et al [28] compared the PA levels from 54 patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), 20 patients with pneumonia, and 30 healthy controls and discovered that the decreased levels of PA in SARS group > the pneumonia group > the control group, suggesting that the extent of PA reduction was correlated with the degree of severity of pneumonia.

    Document: Liao et al [28] compared the PA levels from 54 patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), 20 patients with pneumonia, and 30 healthy controls and discovered that the decreased levels of PA in SARS group > the pneumonia group > the control group, suggesting that the extent of PA reduction was correlated with the degree of severity of pneumonia. In the present study, the PA in children with severe CAP was Table 3 Comparison of general status between mild CAP and severe CAP. significantly lower than in children with mild CAP, which was consistent with the findings of the aforementioned adult study. ROC analysis showed that PA had a high sensitivity and specificity in assessing the severity of CAP when the cutoff value was 125 mg/L, which was lower than the traditional cutoff value (<170 mg/L), indicating that PA can be used as an indicator for severity assessment of pediatric CAP.
