 note = {Article, The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the endotoxin activity in plasma and that in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in bronchopneumonia. Thirty-three calves were included in this study (17 healthy calves and 16 calves with respiratory disease). In the calves with bronchopneumonia, the median endotoxin activity in plasma (0.437 EU/ml, P<0.001) and BALF (29.45 EU/ml, P<0.001) was significantly higher than in the control calves. Plasma endotoxin activity was significantly and positively correlated with that in BALF (r2=0.900, P<0.001). Based on the receiver operating characteristics curves, we propose a diagnostic cutoff point for plasma endotoxin activity (0.104 EU/ml, AUC=0.914, P<0.001, Se 81.3% and Sp 82.4%) for identification of bronchopneumonia in calves which could die within a week.},
