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 |
BTCV | 4/27 (15%) | 17/69 (25%) | 1.04 (0.60–1.80), p = 0.89 | 1.62 (0.63–4.17), 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.
