Associations between CD14 C-159T and TLR4 Asp299Gly variants with IMD using different genetic models.

<p>Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were obtained from univariate logistic regression analysis. Due to minor allele frequency of the 299Gly allele of TLR4, no recessive genetic model was applied.</p

Meningococcal disease, age of infection and serogroup distribution.

<p>Numbers of cases are plotted against age of infection, presented as age groups in a 2-year interval, with respect to serogroups. Black bars indicate all cases, grey bars indicate serogroup B, and white bars indicate serogroup C.</p
