Table 3. Surgical complication rates based on infection status and treatment group.

Surgery Type	Prophylaxis	No Prophylaxis	Total
Peripheral lymph node biopsies
SIV/SHIV +	2.64% (n = 455)	2.15% (n = 885)	2.31% (n = 1,340)
SIV/SHIV –	2.16% (n = 556)	1.8% (n = 334)	2.02% (n = 890)
Laparoscopic biopsies
SIV/SHIV +	5.13%* (n = 39)	0.24%* (n = 822)	0.46% (n = 861)
SIV/SHIV –	2.27% (n = 44)	1.62% (n = 494)	1.67% (n = 538)

Complication rates of peripheral lymph node (PLN) and laparoscopic biopsy procedures in SIV/SHIV infected and uninfected animals, with and without use of prophylactic antibiotics. Asterisk (*) indicates statistically significant results (p value <0.05).
