Table 2. A comparison of point-of-care cathodic circulating antigen detection in urine (POC-CCA) and Kato-Katz (KK) diagnostic methods that were applied to samples collected from the community of Candeal, Estância, Sergipe, northeastern Brazil, November 2015 (n = 461).

For this analysis, POC-CCA resulting in a faint line with at least part of its limits not defined or absent (“trace”) was considered a positive result.

	POC-CCA positive	(%)	POC-CCA negative	(%)	Total	(%)
KK positive	47	(10.2)	8	(1.7)	55	(11.9)
KK negative	283	(61.4)	123	(26.7)	406	(88.1)
Total	330	(71.6)	131	(28.4)	461	(100.0)
