trough is usually indicating the amount of a treating medication in the bloodstream and it's measured in mg/L...don't know if that applies here....whereas a cryptococcal titer is measured in a ratio and they look for 1:512 or 1:1024...

here is the Dorland's verbatim entry for "decubitus:"

decubitus (pronunciation key); pleural DECUBITUS (pronunciation key): Then goes on to explain its various usages as in decubitus position, Andral's decubitus, dorsal, lateral, and ventral decubitis, etc. Specifies plural is decubitus, not decubiti, as does Stedman's Medical Phrase Index, and Mosby's.....anyway, stick to your own opinion, as you invariably will.
