Clinical Performance of the ReEBOV Antigen Rapid Test

Clinical Performance qRT-PCR Positivea qRT-PCR Negative Total
RDT positive 72b 2 74
RDT negative 44c 58 102
Total 116 60 176
Proportion Percentage (95% CI)
PPA 72/116 62.1 (52.6–70.9)
NPA 58/60 96.7 (88.5–99.6)
PPV 72/74 97.3 (90.6–99.7)
NPV 58/102 56.9 (46.7–66.6)
Accuracy 130/176 73.9 (66.9–79.8)

The diagnostic likelihood was 18.6 (P < .0001).

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; Ct, cycle threshold; NPA, negative percentage agreement; NPV, negative predictive value; PPA, positive percentage agreement; PPV, positive predictive value; qRT-PCR, quantitative reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction; RDT, rapid diagnostic test.

a A Ct value of <45 was considered positive.

b RDT true-positive Ct range, 19.6–29.1.

c RDT false-negative Ct range, 33.6–40.2.
