Table 1. Comparison of qPCR to serology using DNA extracted from GEB.
SEROLOGY | Total | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Positive | Negative | |||
GEB | Positive | 47 | 0 | 47 |
Negative | 103 | 115 | 218 | |
Sensitivity (95% CI) | 31.3% (24.0–39.4%) | |||
Specificity (95% CI) | 100% (96.8–100%) | |||
Total | 150 | 115 | 265 |
Sensitivity and specificity of the qPCR using GEB samples was calculated considering the serology (positive to all ELISA, HAI and Western blot positive) as the gold standard.
