Table 4 Pairwise probability table showing single infections and co-infections with enteric pathogens in diarrheic children aged below five years in Kunming, southwest China

From: Impact of co-infections with enteric pathogens on children suffering from acute diarrhea in southwest China

  1. Note: For this analysis, only children with more than five liquid stools within 24 h were considered. “Infected with sp1” indicates the number of children infected with one of the species shown in the first column. The same rationale is applied for “Infected with sp2”. “%” indicates the percentage of children co-infected by a particular pair of pathogens. Co-infection probability is the probability of a child suffering from a particular co-infection. The expected number of co-infected children is the theoretical number of children with co-infections. P. Lt and P. Gt represent the probabilities that those species could co-occur less (P. Lt) than or greater (P. Gt) than what is observed in our data, respectively. They can be interpreted as p-values, thus indicating significance levels for negative and positive co-occurrence patterns. Significant p-values have been indicated by an asterisk “*”. Co-infection types observed in at least 10 children have been bolded. Shaded rows indicate co-infections that do not co-occur randomly
