Table 3. Sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests versus (i) rtPCR and (ii) S. stercoralis IgG ELISA.

Values used for the calculation of sensitivity and specificity can be found in Table S4.

	Versus rtPCR			Versus IgG ELISA
	Charcoal culture	FEA microscopy	IgG ELISA	Charcoal culture	FEA microscopy	rtPCR
Sensitivity, % (95 % CI)	28.6(3.7–71.0)	14.3(0.4–57.9)	100(59–100.0)	5.9(0.7–19.7)	2.9(0.07–15.3)	20.6(8.7–37.9)
Specificity, % (95 % CI)	100.0(94.6–100.0)	100.0(94.6–100.0)	58.5(45.6–70.6)	100.0(90.8–100.0)	100.0(90.8–100.0)	100.0(90.8–100.0)
