| GROUP | AVERAGE (pg/ml) | +SD | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| K | 708.4167 | 242.88746 | 0.000* |
| K+ | 2938.0667 | 593.70993 | |
| KOAT | 1055.0833 | 162.63261 | |
| KI | 742.5000 | 279.82472 | |
| KOAT + I | 357.4167 | 278.76974 |
*One-way Annova Test. Post hoc Tukey HSD Test: K+ vs KOAT: p = 0.047; K+ vs KI: p = 0.0001; K+ vs KOAT + I: p = 0.0001; KI vs KOAT + I: p = 0.000.
K: K+: infected group without treatment; KOAT: infected group treated with oral anti tuberculosis drugs only; KI: infected group treated with instrumentation only; KOAT + I: infected group treated with instrumentation and oral anti tuberculosis drug.
