Table 2.
Correlation of AE/CE patients’ imaging classification with seropositivity by native antigen ELISAs and ADAMU test kits.
| ELISA | ADAMU Kit | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US Classification | Po./All (%) | p-Value | Po./All(%) | p-Value |
| CE types | ||||
| CE1 a | 20/30 (67) | <0.01 a,b/a,d | 11/30 (37) | >0.05 (df = 3) |
| CE2 b | 68/78 (87) | <0.01 b,c/b,d | 39/78 (50) | |
| CE3 c | 14/23 (61) | >0.05 a,c | 13/23 (57) | |
| CE4/CE5 d | 11/33 (33) | >0.05 c,d | 10/33 (30) | |
| AE types | ||||
| Infiltrating 1 | 10/29 (34) | >0.05 (df = 2) | 25/29 (86) | 1.0 1,2 |
| Liquefied 2 | 4/15 (27) | 13/15 (87) | <0.05 2,3 | |
| Calcified 3 | 14/45 (31) | 24/45 (53) | <0.01 1,3 | |
Po., seropositive individuals; all, all tested individuals; df, degrees of freedom. In CE types, the labels of a, b, c, d represented each group of CE1, CE2, etc., since the single letters can be easy to facilitate the marking of the compared groups in the p-value column. The same reason, for ease of marking, in AE types, the labels of 1, 2, 3 represented each group of Infiltrating AE, Liquefied AE, Calcified AE, respectively.
