<p>Box lengths indicate interquartile range. Horizontal lines in each box represent the median of the distribution. Whiskers extend from the normal minimum value to the normal maximum value. For L-J, biphasic medium (B–P), and MGIT, the results of 121 smear positive sputum specimens and 298 smear negative sputum specimens are shown.</p
