  1. Columns 3-6 show the significance (P ) of effects of age, sex, latent toxoplasmosis and toxoplasmosis-sex interaction for the whole population, patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis and patients with immunodeficiencies.Columns 7-10 show the arithmetic means of various variables in particular subpopulations. The P value = 0.000 means P < 0.0005, the significant P -values (P < 0.05) are denoted with asterisks, the trends P < 0.10 are, printed in bold.
