Some clinical features were identified to be predictive of HIV seropositivity and could be useful as indicators to prompt further investigation and/or referral in resource limited settings where HIV test kits are unavailable.
Factors associated with sustained HPV exposure (abnormal cytology, elevated HPV viral load, increasing lifetime partners) were predictive of HPV-16 seropositivity.
As previously stated, the presence of seropositivity predicted improved responses to rituximab (RTX) [ 4- 6].
Furthermore, SIC seropositivity is predictive of poor prognosis of CKD patients.
The current analysis also did not have access to laboratory markers such as the rheumatoid factor status of patients; seropositivity may be predictive of minocycline and doxycycline efficacy in early RA [ 10- 15] 15], thus impacting timing of drug initiation.
Manufacturers of rubella IgG assays and authors of seroepidemiological studies use different cut-offs for the definition of seropositivity.
A high rate of seropositivity for antibodies against Helicobacter pylori has been found in many extragastrointestinal diseases.
The odds of seropositivity was 2.09 times (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.23 3.67) higher in goats than cattle.
Animals in large herds or in production had higher odds of seropositivity than those in small herds or growing.
