Association of Ct Values with RDT Results in Patients with Positive RT-PCR Results
RDT-Negative (n = 55) | RDT-Positive (n = 29) | P Value | |
---|---|---|---|
Ct value (E gene) | 22.62 (21.20–24.04) | 16.24 (14.40–18.08) | <.001* |
Range | 10–32 | 10–27 | |
Ct value (RdRp gene) | 22.24 (20.76–23.71) | 16.10 (14.36–17.84) | <.001* |
Range | 10–32 | 10–26 |
Ct, cycle threshold; RDT, rapid diagnostic test; RT-PCR, reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. *Significant at P <.05.
