NA indicates the compound was not sufficiently cross-reactive to cause a presumptive positive on the given screening assay at the concentrations tested. Cytarabine was not expected to be cross-reactive. In addition, based on the EHR data analysis, the potential cross-reactivity of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole could not be distinguished.
