| Testa | Positive TL (%) | Positive RDT (%) | Positive agreement (%) | Negative agreement (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cases (n = 172) | ||||
| Test | 102 (59.3) | 148 (86.0) | 89 (51.7) | 11 (6.4) |
| Nat-LiTat 1.3 | 40 (23.3) | 141 (82.0) | 36 (20.9) | 27 (15.7) |
| Nat-LiTat 1.5 | 90 (52.3) | 127 (73.8) | 69 (40.1) | 24 (14.0) |
| Endemic controls (n = 123) | ||||
| Test | 39 (31.7) | 105 (85.3) | 38 (30.9) | 17 (13.8) |
| Nat-LiTat 1.3 | 25 (20.3) | 94 (76.4) | 22 (17.9) | 26 (21.1) |
| Nat-LiTat 1.5 | 21 (17.1) | 89 (72.4) | 20 (16.2) | 33 (26.8) |
a“Test” refers to the test being positive, in TL and the RDT, the test is interpreted as positive if either band is positive. Nat-LiTat 1.3 and 1.5 refer to the results of each antigen in TL and the RDT. Positive and negative agreement are the numbers where the test results agreed
