Table 2. Associations between anti-Toxocara IgG seropositivity and total IgE and eosinophilia of ≥4% and ≥10% in 1,148 children.

Anti-Toxocara IgG seropositivity	Total IgE *		Eosinophilia (4%)		Eosinophilia (10%)
	n (%)	**OR (95% C.I.)	n (%)	**OR (95% C.I.)	n (%)	**OR (95% C.I.)
Negative (n = 608 53.0%)	330 (54.3)	1	392 (64.5)	1	97 (16.0)	1
Positive (n = 540 47.0%)	354 (65.6)	1.53 (1.19; 1.97)	460 (85.2)	3.03 (2.22; 4.13)	195 (36.1)	2.46 (1.83;3.29)

^*Positivity for total IgE defined by a cut-off of 0.2 µg/mL;

^**OR adjusted for gender, age, maternal schooling, parental asthma, mold, sewage access, infections with A.lumbricoides and T. trichuris.
