Table 3

Combination of distribution (by chi-square test) of IS900 PCR (MAP genome) and HBHA MAP antigen in a cohort of Type 1 diabetes patients (T1D) compared to healthy controls (CTR). Percentage and absolute values.

	Combination (PCR versus HBHA antigen)				Total	𝑃 value
	0-0	1-0	0-1	1-1
T1D	60,7% (𝑛=150)	27,1% (𝑛=67)	8,5% (𝑛=21)	3,6% (𝑛=9)	100% (𝑛=247)	𝑃<0,0000
CTR	90,9 (𝑛=100)	4,5% (𝑛=5)	4,5% (𝑛=5)	0% (𝑛=0)	100% (𝑛=110)

0: negative, 1: positive.
