Values show the mean percentage drop in antibody median fluorescence intensity-background (MFI-BG) for IgG (top section) and IgA (bottom) from baseline to 6 months after drug treatment in paired samples. 95% confident intervals are shown in parentheses. P values testing for a difference from zero (no change) of < 0.05 were considered significant. P values in bold test for an average difference from zero across all age groups.
