CT Prevalence Studies in India.

<p>This table shows a review on Indian data which show a wide variation in CT prevalence and methods of laboratory confirmation.</p

Neonate Characteristics.

<p>There were 768 newborn specimens (NP and conjunctival) obtained from the neonates of the 784 enrolled mothers who had both NAAT and RDT results reported. This table describes the neonatal characteristics.</p

Infectious Rotavirus Is Present in Children with Rotavirus Antigenemia

<p>A total of 11 antigen-positive and nine antigen-negative sera were examined for infectious virus by focus-forming assay after three blind serial passes in HT-29 cells. Infected HT-29 cells were identified using a rabbit antiserum against the ALA strain of rotavirus (A–F) or against NSP4 peptide 114–135 (G, H) followed by a FITC-labeled secondary antibody. Shown are: (A) Rhesus rotavirus (RRV) as a positive control; (B, G) Antigen negative serum; and (C–F, H) antigen positive serum.</p

Study Flow Chart.

<p>April 2009 to January 2010, 7955 women delivered during the recruitment period. 1198 (88%) women were enrolled; 799 endocervical samples from the 1198 enrolled subjects were collected and data on 784 participants with both RDT and NAAT results are reported.</p

Baseline characteristics of Enrolled Mothers, Enrolled Tested mothers, and Enrolled and not Tested.

*<p>(50Rs = 1 USD).</p><p>This table shows that tested mothers were significantly older, multiparous, and higher socio-economic group compared to untested mothers (p = 0.03, p = <0.0001, and p = 0.03; respectively).</p

Detection of Rotavirus Antigenemia within Eight Days after Onset of Symptoms Does Not Depend on the Number of Days after Onset of Illness or the Age of Child

<p>The ODs of serum samples obtained from children with rotavirus-positive stools were plotted against days after onset of illness (A) or age of child in months (B). Correlation analysis was performed (line) and <i>R</i>² values calculated.</p

Rotavirus Antigenemia in Children Does Not Depend on the Presence of Diarrhea

<div><p>(A) Sera obtained from children with noninfectious, nonchronic conditions (<i>n</i> = 17), healthy adults (<i>n</i> = 28), children with gastroenteritis but rotavirus stool negative (<i>n</i> = 41), and children with gastroenteritis that were rotavirus stool positive (<i>n</i> = 57) were diluted 1:10 and tested for rotavirus antigen by EIA. Values for each sample were recorded as OD × 1,000. The cut-off value for positive samples (line) was established by calculating two standard deviations above the mean OD value of the children with noninfectious, nonchronic conditions and healthy adults. Numbers indicate mean OD values ± standard deviation. *<i>p</i> = 0.001 compared to children with noninfectious, nonchronic conditions.</p> <p>(B) Children with gastroenteritis (<i>n</i> = 98) with or without rotavirus present in the stool were further stratified on the basis of criteria of the presence or absence of diarrhea. Numbers indicate mean OD values ± standard deviation. Boxes indicate children from whom serum samples were analyzed for increases in antibody titers between acute and convalescent samples. ^#<i>p</i> = 0.001 compared to rotavirus (RV) Neg No Diarrhea group. ⁺<i>p</i> = 0.88 compared to rotavirus Pos No Diarrhea group.</p></div
