Table 2. Performance of mRT-LAMP-IRNH compared with real-time RT-PCR for detecting influenza A/H5, A/H7 and 2009A/H1.

Target	mRT-LAMP-IRNHa		Performance characteristics
	Positive	Negative	Sensitivity	Specificity
A/H5	6/6	82/82	100%	100%
A/H7	18/18	70/70	100%	100%
2009A/H1	27/28	60/60	96.4%	100%
Combined A/H5, A/H7 and 2009A/H1	51/52	36/36	98.1%	100%

^aThe results of real-time RT-PCR were used as the reference standard.
