FIG 5.

Estimated sensitivity and specificity of PCR, culture, and stains. Contingency tables compare categorical results (pos/neg) to final clinical diagnosis for broad-range fungal PCR (A), fungal culture (B), tandem submission of both broad-range fungal PCR and fungal culture (C), direct stain of specimens submitted for culture (D), frozen section results (E), and tandem submission of both frozen section and direct stain (F). Shown is the number of cases, N, with assay performed in the upper left of each table. Estimated sensitivity (Sensi.) and specificity (Speci.) are reported in each table, with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (percent) reported below. *, one frozen section erroneously suggested mucormycete morphology in a case of Fusarium infection.
