Abbreviations: AGP, alpha-1 acid glycoprotein; CI, confidence interval; DENV, dengue virus; OFI, other febrile illness; OR, odds ratio; RBP, retinol-binding protein.

a P values obtained using a Wald χ 2 tests for independence.

b P values obtained from polytomous logistic regression, Type 3 analysis of effects. Each illness category compared to“healthy control” as the reference group. Model is adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index.

cAdjusted for acute-phase response using the Thurnham correction factor.

dAGP modeled as value per 0.1 g/L.
