The Role of IL-17 in the Association between Pneumococcal Pneumonia and Allergic Sensitization

Table 2

Logistic regression models assessing the impact of each variable on the risk of pneumococcal pneumonia.

VariablesOdds ratios (95%CI)* value

IL-17 (per an increment of 1.0 pg/mL)1.10 (1.03–1.17)0.003
OVA sensitization/challenge4.03 (0.46–35.07)0.21
IL-4 (per an increment of 1.0 pg/mL)81.9 (4.30–1523.87)0.003

The logistic regression model was adjusted for the interaction term between IL-4 and OVA sensitization/challenge.
