Fig 1. Distribution of Cq values in GEB and clot samples.

Fig 1

The line inside the box represents the median, and the box comprises the lower and upper quartiles. The mean Cq for clot samples (extracted using the new technique) was 27.32 [95%CI: 26.69–27.95]. The mean Cq for GEB samples was 29.02 [95% CI: 28.36–29.67] (P = 0003). Agreement between the two samples was 95.9% (Kappa = 0.8483). Out of the five samples that tested positive in the clot extracted DNA with a Cq value greater than 32, three were also positive on the qPCR using DNA from GEB samples.
