Sensitivity and specificity of the LAMP assay on unextracted DNA compared with the reference standard CDC PCR assay
PCR result | LAMP (unextracted) | ||
---|---|---|---|
Negative | Positive | Total | |
Negative | 51 | 0 | 51 |
Positive | 4 | 8 | 12 |
Total | 55 | 8 | 63 |
LAMP = loop-mediated isothermal amplification; PCR = polymerase chain reaction.
