| Cohort | Here retrospectively analyzed the presence of CAGTA on−80 °C stored serum samples, where the level of BDG had been previously assessed in a prospective study conducted in the Azienda Ospedaliero–Universitaria Policlinic of Modena. In particular, here selected 29 samples from proven IC episodes and 28 from non-IC cases. |
