The objective of this hospital-based syndromic surveillance study was to examine exposure and epidemiologic associations with detection of bloodstream and respiratory agents among patients presenting to clinical settings with acute febrile illness (AFI) in Kilombero, Tanzania. Given the high frequency of detection of Plasmodium, we further examined detection status across three diagnostic platforms, and conducted a non-parametric tests Kruskal-Wallis test to compare mean C t values, as determined by qPCR, for patients grouped within each level of parasite intensity (1+, 2+, 3+, or 4+), as determined by blood smear. Clinical and epidemiologic correlates of agents detected among at least 10% of our patient population were evaluated using an agent-specific filtered multivariate logistic regression approach to determine statistically significant factors among test-positive participants against a test-negative control group.	./cache/cord-002811-5hrydciz.txt	./txt/cord-002811-5hrydciz.txt
