CRP Expressions based on the Experimental Groups.
| GROUP | AVERAGE (ng/ml) | +SD | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| K | 1.817 | 0.8353 | 0.000* |
| K+ | 11.200 | 3.6277 | |
| KOAT | 2.983 | 0.5115 | |
| KI | 2.817 | 1.6762 | |
| KOAT + I | 2.600 | 1.0640 |
*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+: 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.
