| Recurring Positive Results (n = 9) (Mean ± Standard Deviation) | Negative Results (n = 42) (Mean ± Standard Deviation) | P Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leu, ×109/L | 5.04 ± 1.58 | 5.62 ± 1.68 | 0.37 |
| Lym, ×109/L | 1.45 ± 0.47 | 1.52 ± 0.48 | 0.71 |
| Neu, ×109/L | 3.04 ± 1.06 | 3.48 ± 1.38 | 0.39 |
| PLT, ×109/L | 308.0 ± 98.66 | 279.9 ± 104.8 | 0.34 |
| ALT, IU/L | 25.88 ± 28.29 | 29.5 ± 22.36 | 0.41 |
| AST, IU/L | 23.75 ± 15.69 | 25.07 ± 12.85 | 0.28 |

Definition of abbreviations: ALT = alanine aminotransferase; AST = aspartate transaminase; BUN = blood urea nitrogen; Cr = creatinine; LDH = lactate dehydrogenase; Leu = leukocytes; Lym = lymphocytes; Neu = neutrophils; PLT = platelets.
P values were obtained using the Mann-Whitney U test.
