Patient flow chart for sputum testing by MODS and by Lowenstein-Jensen culture (LJ)

a15 patients had two positive MODS cultures. Twelve patients had one positive and one negative MODS culture; of these, three patients had no positive LJ culture or auramine stain.

bThree of these LJ-negative patients had at least one positive MODS culture.

c10 patients had two positive LJ cultures, 10 had one positive and one negative culture and two had one positive and one contaminated culture. All 22 of these patients had at least one positive MODS culture.

dTwo of these patients had at least one positive MODS culture.

eDemographic data was available for 131 of the 178 patients referred to the study but ultimately not part of the inclusion group: 37.4% were women (p=0.97 when compared with participants), and mean age ± standard deviation was 36.7 ± 10.8 (p=0.02). CD4 count was available for 101 of these patients: mean ± standard deviation was 261 ± 170 (p=0.31).
