With exceptionof Influenza A virus titre, all the P valueswere insignificant and this can be explained by asymptomatic or recentinfection". This also indicates that there is no difference in the incidenceof viral infection among febrile and afebrile patients. However, whencomparing the significant and insignificant viral titers in patients withpositive negative blood film for malaria, it is clear that there was69
