predictors of delayed-type hypersensitivity to candida albicans and anti-epstein-barr virus antibody among children in kilimanjaro, tanzania.we evaluated sex, age, nutritional status, and infectious disease (id) as predictors of two biomarkers of cell-mediated immunity (cmi), delayed-type hypersensitivity to candida albicans (dth-candida), and anti-epstein-barr virus antibody (ebv ab), among 200 children in kilimanjaro, tanzania. dth-candida, which decreases with compromised cmi, was positively associated with age (or: 1.27; 95% ci: 1.02, 1.57) and triceps skinfold (tsf; or: 1.16; 95% ci: 1.02, 1.26), and inversely associated with he ...201323460387
