Box plot showing cycle threshold (Ct) values for agents targeted by Taqman Array Card (TAC) among 72 non-fatal cases, 72 fatal cases and 72 asymptomatic controls. Boxes show the median (dot and number) and the 25th and 75th percentiles and bars show the 10th and 90th percentiles. *Pathogens whose median Ct value is significantly lower among non-fatal or fatal cases compared to asymptomatic controls using Mann-Whitney test (Enterovirus/Rhinovirus median Ct: fatal-cases (23.23) vs asymptomatic controls (29.10), p value < 0.01; S.pneumoniae median Ct: non-fatal cases (26.60) vs asymptomatic controls (29.34), p value <0.01)
