*For ease of interpretation, predicted measurements at various ages are shown in addition to the rate of growth in ln(kg or cm)/ln(months). Micro, microsporidiosis; Crypto, cryptosporidiosis; CI, confidence interval.
†Rate of growth of children with microsporidiosis minus rate of growth of children without microsporidiosis in ln(kg or cm)/ln(months).
‡By t test comparing rate of growth of children with and without microsporidiosis.
