Association of Clinical Features of Overall Study Participants With Specific Pathogens Detected Using TaqMan Array Card
| Pathogen | Symptom | Adjusted Odds Ratioa | 95% Confidence Interval | P Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Candida spp. | Abdominal pain | 4.3 | 1.1–16 | .03 |
| Candida spp. | Constipation | 7.1 | 1.3–40 | .03 |
| Cytomegalovirus | Diarrhea | 2.1 | .9–4.8 | .08 |
| Dengue | Cough | 0.5 | .3–1.0 | .06 |
| Dengue | No symptom | 3.2 | 1.2–8.6 | .02 |
| Escherichia coli | Cough | 2.6 | .9–7.4 | .08 |
| Klebsiella pneumoniae | Cough | 12.1 | 1.5–101 | .02 |
| Plasmodium | Cough | 0.6 | .35–.98 | .04 |
aAll patient symptoms (8 total), as shown in Table 1, were analyzed for associations with all pathogens with more than 8 detections (9 total) and when no pathogen was detected. Odds ratios (ORs) were adjusted for age as an ordinal covariate, gender, and the 3 clinical sites as nominal covariates. In the interest of space, only ORs with a P value of <.10 are shown.
