Consistent with this result, TRFLP peaks from roots grown on sterilized sand (autoclaved twice and tested for sterility based on culturing, data not shown) clustered with those from plants that were grown on soils but only when those plants belonged to the same genotype.
Pulmonary TB status was based on culture, except where culture data were not available, in which cases microscopy results were used.
Pulmonary TB status was based on culture, except where culture data were not available, in which cases microscopy results were used. 2 CD4 results missing for one patient.
The prevalence of HIV infection was 50.6% (633) among the 1,250 PTB patients, and 9.9% (35) among the 355 non-TB controls (p < 0.001). 1 Pulmonary TB status was based on culture, except where culture data were not available.
The intercept of 736 (95% CI: 695; 778) reflects the mean CD4 count among individuals falling into all the reference categories; i.e. female non-TB controls without HIV infection and age below 25 years. 1 Pulmonary TB status was based on culture, except if culture data were missing in which case microscopy results were used.
Accordingly, in linear regression analyses, there was no interaction between PTB and HIV status with respect to CD4 counts (interaction, p = 0.68). 1 Pulmonary TB status was based on culture, except where culture data were not available, in which case microscopy results were used.
Case finding was based on culture and pathology data and not on ICD codes.
In Finland, since 1994, all clinical microbiology laboratories are required to notify the National Infectious Disease Register (NIDR) of all Campylobacter findings based on culture, but no data on the distribution of domestically acquired and imported Campylobacter infections are collected.
A reference system based on diagnostic strategies including clinical risk factors, scores for specific signs, radiological data and investigations based on culture of fungal pathogens has recently been set up.
