Table 3. DENV serotype positive detection rate ratio of Simplexa Dengue compared to conventional RT-PCR.
Serotype | Conventional RT-PCR | Simplexa | Positive Detection Rate Ratioa | ||
N | % | N | % | ||
DENV-1 | 25 | 47.2 | 76 | 53.9 | 3.04 |
DENV-2 | 6 | 11.3 | 14 | 10.0 | 2.33 |
DENV-3 | 10 | 18.9 | 11 | 7.8 | 1.1 |
DENV-4 | 8 | 15.1 | 32 | 22.6 | 4 |
Mix | 4 | 7.5 | 8 | 5.7 | 2 |
Total | 53 | 100 | 141 | 100 | 2.66 |
Positive detection rate ratio was calculated as N Simplexa ÷ N Conventional RT-PCR.
