Table 4. Association between the degree of immunodeficiency and tuberculosis with an allopatric Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain among European patients (n = 233).

Degree of immunodeficiency n Unadjusted Adjusted
OR 95% OR P value OR 95% OR P value
Nadir CD4 T cell count (CD4 cells/µl) <0.0001 0.0050
HIV–negative 197 1.0 (ref) 1.0 (ref)
≥200 11 4.64 (0.87–24.70) 2.56 (0.37–17.65)
50–199 17 6.43 (1.74–23.70) 6.96 (1.18–41.11)
<50 8 12.53 (2.58–60.84) 13.0 (1.54–109.75)

Model was adjusted for age, sex, Swiss-born, frequent travelling, contact with foreign-born population, and immunosuppression other than HIV infection (see Figure 2 for a graphical overview).

P values of linear tests for trend are shown.
