Elevated Plasma Surfactant Protein D (SP‐D) Levels and a Direct Correlation with Anti‐severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus‐specific IgG Antibody in SARS Patients 2009-03-19 .txt text/plain 4222 243 50 title: Elevated Plasma Surfactant Protein D (SP‐D) Levels and a Direct Correlation with Anti‐severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus‐specific IgG Antibody in SARS Patients The diagnosis was further confirmed using the ELISA assay for plasma SARS-CoV protein N IgG measurement (described below). Anti-SARS-CoV N protein IgG levels were [median (95% CI)] 0.97 (0.81-1.58) versus 0.05 (0.04-0.06) and 0.05 (0.04-0.07) units (OD450) in patients with SARStype pneumonia, patients with CAP (S. A significant correlation between plasma SP-D and anti-SARS-CoV N protein IgG measured in SARS patients was observed using linear regression (r 2 = 0.5995, P = 0.02) (Fig. 5) . This was further confirmed by the measures of lung injury reported in the present study showing no significant differences in pulmonary infiltrate, chest radiographic score, thrombocytopenia and leucocytopenia between SARS patients and the bacterial-type pneumonia patients.
