TPTest results in different study groups.
*<p>>10 ELISA unit was considered a positive TPTest (see text).</p
Clinical characteristics of study participants.
a<p>Significantly different (p<0.05) when compared blood culture confirmed bacteremia.</p
Comparison of TPTest results using various techniques.
<p>(<b>A</b>) The TPTest was carried out using leukocytes recovered by various techniques: density gradient centrifugation, erythrocyte lysis buffer, and buffy coat separation. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the responses of different blood cell separation methods. RBC, red blood cell. (<b>B</b>) Comparison of TPTest results using peripheral blood mononuclear cells incubated at 37°C in the presence or absence of supplemental CO<sub>2</sub>. >10 ELISA units was considered a positive TPTest (see text).</p
Sensitivity, specificity (with 95% confidence intervals in parenthesis) of TPTest for diagnosing enteric fever.
a<p>Calculated using a two by two table.</p
Effect on TPTest results of different incubation periods of cells.
<p>The TPTest was done using lymphocyte supernatants after 24 and 48 hours incubation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) at 37°C with supplemental CO<sub>2</sub>. >10 ELISA units was considered a positive TPTest.</p
