Table 2. Comparison of qPCR to serology using DNA extracted from clot.

SEROLOGY Total
Positive Negative
CLOT Positive 60 0 60
Negative 90 115 205
Sensitivity (95% CI) 40.0% (32.1–48.3%)
Specificity (95% CI) 100% (96.8–100%)
Total 150 115 265

Sensitivity and specificity of the qPCR using clot samples was calculated considering the serology (positive to all ELISA, HAI and Western blot positive) as the gold standard.
