Patient classification into three etiologic groups. Inconclusive tests included those that were contaminated (bacteria), those that were missing results, and those that did not meet the parasitemia threshold (microscopy). Chest X-ray results were classified as (1) normal, (2) infiltrates other than end-point pneumonia, and (3) lobar consolidation or pleural effusion (endpoint pneumonia). PCR = polymerase chain reaction; WBC = white blood cell.
