Table 3 Relationship between disease diagnosis related to a given lesion* and detection by PCR (G. parasuis, M. hyorhinis, M. hyosynoviae) related to a given specimen by agents. The numerator represents the number of cases with disease diagnosis for the agent associated to a lesion (Example: M. hyorhinis + Serositis), and the denominator represent the number of cases in which the agent was detected in a given sample type (Example: M. hyorhinis + Positive+Serosal fibrin, SF) and histopathology was performed. These analyses were done for specific lesions and related specimens
