Table 1. Factors associated with indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA) results in 96 healthy rice farmers.

Organisms cultured from rice fields IHA results Odds Ratios (95% confidence interval)*
IHA positive ** (n = 27 famers) IHA negative ** (n = 69 farmers) Univariable analysis Multivariable analysis
B. pseudomallei 21/27 (78%) 27/69 (39%) 3.39 (1.66–6.90), p = 0.001 3.72 (1.76–7.84), p = 0.001
B. thailandensis 12/27 (44%) 36/69 (52%) 0.92 (0.44–1.91), p = 0.82 0.63 (0.25–1.57), p = 0.32

* Estimated by ordered logistic regression models stratified by sampled rice field.

** IHA titers ≥ 1:80 is defined as positive; IHA titers <1:80 is defined as negative.
