Levels of Bm14-specific IgG4 based on Mf status before and after treatment
| Mf status pre-Tx | Mf status post-Tx | Bm14-specific IgG4 pre-Tx | Bm14-specific IgG4 post-Tx | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Positive (n) | Negative (n) | Positive (n) | Negative (n) | ||
| Positive | Positive | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 |
| Median OD (IQR) | 2.08 (NA) | 2.22 (NA) | |||
| Negative | 31 | 1 | 30 | 2 | |
| Median OD (IQR) | 1.61 (0.48–3.00) | 0.0025 (NA) | 1.32 (0.17–2.69) | 0.0025 (0.0025–0.0026) | |
| Total | 33 | 1 | 32 | 2 | |
IQR = interquartile range; Mf = microfilaria; NA = not applicable; OD = optical density; post-Tx = after treatment; pre-Tx = before treatment.
