Table 4. 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 negative result.

	POC-CCA positive	(%)	POC-CCA negative	(%)	Total	(%)
KK positive	40	(8.7)	15	(3.2)	55	(11.9)
KK negative	147	(31.9)	259	(56.2)	406	(88.1)
Total	187	(40.6)	274	(59.4)	461	(100.0)
