Table 1.
Sensitivity and specificity of the real time qPCR in blood and serum samples
Blood samples | Serum samples | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
ELISA + | ELISA - | ELISA + | ELISA - | |
qPCR + | 39 (97.5%) | 0 (0%) | 38 (95%) | 0 (0%) |
qPCR - | 1 (2.5%) | 20 (100%) | 2 (5%) | 20 (100%) |
Total | 40 | 20 | 40 | 20 |
To calculate Sensitivity and Specificity values, serology was considered as gold standard.
