HCMV infection does not significantly affect protective antibody levels.
| Vaccine antibody | Protective | Below threshold (N) | Above threshold (N) | Fisher's exact test | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threshold value | HCMV– | HCMV+ | HCMV– | HCMV+ | P-value | |
| Dtx antibodies | ≥0.1 IU/mL | 1 | 3 | 38 | 101 | 1.0 |
| Ttx antibodies | ≥0.1 IU/mL | 0 | 1 | 39 | 103 | 1.0 |
| Measles antibodies | ≥3 log2 titer | 5 | 9 | 51 | 99 | 1.0 |
Number of infants above and below the post-vaccination protective threshold antibody levels according to HCMV status. N, number of infants; Dtx, diphtheria toxoid; Ttx, tetanus toxoid.
