<div>In the patient group (n=48), Ad-37 antibody positivity was detected in
39 samples, while in the control group (n=42), it was detected in 24
samples. According to the Mann Whitney U test result, a significant
difference (p =0.011) was found in favor of the patient group.</div><div>For Adenovirus 5, antibody positivity was detected in 26 individuals in
the patient group and 26 individuals in the control group. According to
the Mann Whitney U test result, no statistically significant difference
(p=0.461) was found.</div><div>More positivity for Adenovirus 37 was detected in the patient group
compared to the control group. However, for Adenovirus 5, the number of
positive individuals was equal in both patient and control groups. IgG
positivity for both Ad-5 and Ad-37 was detected in 28 individuals in the
patient group and 22 individuals in the control group. In 9 patient
individuals who tested negative for Ad-37, Ad-5 was also negative. Ad-37
and Ad-5 were found to be more positive in male individuals in the
patient group and female individuals in the control group. Comparison of
Adenovirus 5 and 37 seropositivity by gender distribution in patient and
control groups is shown in Table II.</div>
