Bartonella species IgG ELISA was performed with a cutoff value of \u22651\u00a0:\u00a064. Stepwise logistic regression analysis was performed with the endpoint titer as the outcome variable. The final statistical model included age, albumin, ALP activity, ALT activity, bilirubin, creatinine, glucose, and globulin as covariates. Serum protein electrophoresis was performed with serum from 50 cats with and without antibodies to Bartonella species and hyperglobulinemia. Sera from cats seropositive to Bartonella species and with hyperglobulinemia were assessed for evidence of exposure to other infectious agents associated with hyperglobulinemia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Risk of seropositivity to Bartonella species was positively associated with the natural log of globulin concentration (OR\u00a0=\u00a011.90, 95% CI 6.15\u201323.02, P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a0.0001), and inversely associated with the natural log of glucose concentration (OR\u00a0=\u00a00.66, 95% CI 0.50\u20130.87, P\u00a0=\u00a0.004).
