Distribution of the studied population by ELISA in cancer cases and controls.
| ELISA results | Cancer cases | Controls | OR (95% CI) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IgM − , IgG − | 18 (36.00%) | 21 (42.00%) | 0.78 (0.32:1.87) | 0.54 |
| IgM − , IgG + | 26 (52.00%) | 26 (52.00%) | (0.42:2.36) | 1.00 |
| IgM + , IgG − | 2 (4.00%) | 1 (2.00%) | 2.04 (0.10:122.86) | 0.56 |
| IgM + , IgG + | 4 (8.00%) | 2 (4.00%) | 2.09 (0.28:23.94) | 0.40 |
P value was calculated using the Chi square test.
P < 0.05 is statistically significant.
*Regression model included age, sex residence as a-priori factors in addition to T. gondii IgG and IgM.
