Fig. 2

Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis curves, depicting the specificity and the sensitivity of YKL-40 and MIP-1a between our study groups: a ROC curves of YKL-40 serum levels for the differentiation of TB vs. LCa, TB vs. MCa and TB vs. PN, respectively. b ROC curves of MIP-1a serum levels for the differentiation of LCa vs. TB, LCa vs. MCa and LCa vs. PN, respectively. c ROC curves of MIP-1a pleural levels for the differentiation of LCa vs. TB, LCa vs. MCa and LCa vs. PN, respectively. TB: Tuberculosis; LCa: Lung Cancer; MCa: Metastatic Cancer of non-lung origin; PN: Parapneumonic effusions
