A. Comparison of positive and negative infection detection by PCR and LAMP
N: 111 samples PCR positive PCR negative LAMP positive LAMP negative
Qiagen 86 (77.5%) 25 104 (93.7%) 7
LAMP-PURE 86 (77.5%) 25 97 (87.4%) 14
B. Comparison of positive and negative infection detection by KK and PCR
N: 111 samples PCR Qiagen positive PCR Qiagen negative PCR LAMP-PURE positive PCR LAMP-PURE negative
KK positive 9 (8.1%) 25 7 (6.3%) 2
KK negative 77 (69.3%) 0 79 (71.8%) 23
C. Comparison of positive and negative infection detection by KK and LAMP
N: 111 samples LAMP Qiagen positive LAMP Qiagen negative LAMP LAMP-PURE positive LAMP LAMP-PURE negative
KK positive 9 (8.1%) 0 8 (7.2%) 1
KK negative 95 (85.6%) 7 89 (80.1%) 13

KK = Kato-Katz; LAMP-PURE = loop-mediated isothermal amplification-Procedure for Ultra Rapid Extraction; PCR = polymerase chain reaction.
