Note: Chi-square test on eating habits by serofrequency in both patients' groups: P = .001 with significant interrelationships between consumption of raw meat and seropositivity. Chi-square test on risky cat contact by serofrequency in all healthy controls: P = .05 with significant interrelationships between risky cat contact and seropositivity.
