Sensitivity and specificity of the LAMP assay on extracted DNA compared with the reference standard CDC PCR assay
| PCR result | LAMP (extracted) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Negative | Positive | Total | |
| Negative | 49 | 2 | 51 |
| Positive | 0 | 12 | 12 |
| Total | 49 | 14 | 63 |
LAMP = loop-mediated isothermal amplification; PCR = polymerase chain reaction.
