| Rec-ELISA using | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| rMLD | rNP | rNP/rMLD | |
| Acute CCHF (day 1–day 7) | |||
| Sensitivity | 69% (56–79) | 72% (59–82) | 73% (61–84) |
| Specificity | 98% (88–100) | 98% (88–100) | 98% (89–100) |
| Positive predictive value (PPV) | 98% (88–100) | 98% (89–100) | 98% (89 -100) |
| Negative predictive value (NPV) | 68% (55–79) | 70% (57–81) | 71% (58–82) |
| Likelihood ratio | 29.6% | 30.9% | 31.6% |
| Convalescent CCHF (day 8–25) | |||
| Sensitivity | 89% (73–97) | 97% (85–100) | 97% (85–100) |
| Specificity | 98% (88–100) | 98% (88–100) | 98% (88–100) |
