fumigatus positivity in serum samples was highest on Day 3 (16 of 18 positive) and Day 4 (17 of 18 positive) but declined on Day 5 (13 of 18 positive) and Day 7 (12 of 18 positive) with waning of immunosuppression and the difference between Day 4 and Day 7 was nearly statistically significant (p = 0.088).

The results were mostly the same, except that the chi-square analyses for the verbal condition were not significant, χ 2 (2, 116) = 2.68, p = .262, φ = .152, 95% CI [0.45, 0.63], and the binomial test for the contagious confederate in the verbal condition only approached significance, ( p = 0.088).

In the analysis of time alone, the positive linear increase across time became only marginally significant (β = 0.02, p = 0.0884) after adjusting for a significant positive AR1 autocorrelative term (β = 0.8716, p<0.0001; the Durbin-Watson test of lag 1 autocorrelation was significant before adjusting for the AR1, but not after); the autocorrelation term absorbed much of the variance due to the deviation from a straight-line trend.
