The positive Spearman R always means positive association between the presence of anamnestic titres of anti-Bartonella or anti-Toxoplasma antibodies or with health, Beck depression, or N-70 depression (neuroticism) scores. Significant associations are printed in bold; those significant after the correction for multiple tests are labeled with asterisks.
