Notes:

p-Value with bold fonts refer to statistically significant p-value.

a

Some data were missing.

b

Cutaneous lesions comprised of Sweet’s disease, eczema and erythema nodusum. Adjusted analysis was adjusted with the three most significant factors (anti-IFN-γ, cutaneous lesions and age). Odds ratios (ORs) compared extrapulmonary infections (numerator) to pulmonary infections (denominator).
