Table 4. Relationship between toxin profile and dehydration status of ETEC diarrheal patients during 2007–2012.
| Dehydration Statusa | Toxin profile no. (%) | |||
| LT | ST | LT/ST | ||
| Severe | 2007–2009 | 60 (36.6) | 47 (28.7) | 57 (34.8) |
| 2010–2012 | 22 (17.2) | 44 (34.4) | 62 (48.4) | |
| Some | 2007–2009 | 82 (34.2) | 75 (31.3) | 83 (34.6) |
| 2010–2012 | 48 (26.8) | 55 (30.7) | 76 (42.5) | |
p value for chi-squared test: 0.046 (2010–2012); indicates LT vs LT/ST ETEC for severe cases.
