*

n is the frequency or number of decedents specified in each column.

During the matching process, one case was only able to find two matched controls because of the characteristics of that case (i.e., in the 5–14 years age range, female, and Asian).

Cases were matched to controls by age, sex, and race/ethnicity.

Among toxoplasmosis deaths with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, there were 11 cases with HIV involvement; among toxoplasmosis deaths with Hodgkin lymphoma, there were no cases with HIV involvement.
