Prevalence of anti-B19 Ig M antibodies according to age and gender

Age	Sex distribution		B19-Ig M antibodies positive
	male	female	male	female
15–22years	91	38	18	5
23–30	26	11	3	2
31–38	10	3	1	0

Total	134	58	22	8

Table 2: As the age increased, the positivity for anti B-19 Ig M decreased in the males and females. Although the prevalence of antibodies (Ig M) were higher in males, the age specific prevalence did not differ significantly (P Value > 0.05).
