* Results of comparison of VCA IgA between NPC patients (upper line) and non-NPC patients (lower line), same patterns were used for other comparisons in table 4.

**SLE(6–10y): SLE patients between 6 and 10 years old were chosen for comparison as there was only one SLE patient under 6 years old.

*** Non-NPC & non-SLE (6–10y): All 6–10 years old patients in whom NPC and SLE were excluded.
