Table 2. Seroprevalence and log-transformed geometric mean titers of Yellow Fever (YF) neutralizing antibody (Ab) measured by Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT50) among participants aged 60 years or more (Group 1) and under-60 years (Group 2).

Group 1 (≥ 60 y) n=46 no (%) Group 2 (18 - 59 y) n=48 no (%) p-value
Seroprevalence (neutralizing Ab, mIU/mL)#
Positive Negative 40 (87.0) 6 (13.0) 45 (93.8) 3 (6.3) 0.263
YF neutralizing Ab titer (log10mIU/mL) (n=88)*
Mean (SD, CI 95%) Median (min - max) 3.44 (0.43, 3.35-3.53) 3.48 (2.38 - 4.28) 3.64 (0.36, 3.56-3.71) 3.67 (2.77 - 4.27) 0.022

# Cutoff=794mIU/mL, equivalent of 2.9 log10mIU/mL.

*Participants without exact titer were excluded from this analysis (four with results above the upper limit of the test and two below the lower limit of the test).
