Overall geomean and sensitivity of uRDT and cRDT compared to the TBS method
Diagnostic test | uRDT (+) | uRDT (−) | cRDT (+) | cRDT (−) | Total |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
TBS (+) | 13 | 11 | 9 | 15 | 24 |
TBS (−) | 8 | 247 | 1 | 254 | 255 |
Total | 21 | 258 | 10 | 269 | 279 |
Geomean of positive samples (p/µL by TBS) | 20.6 | 30.2 | |||
Sensitivity (%) | 54.2% (33.2–73.8) | 37.5% (19.6–59.2) |
Overall geomean, sensitivity and number of positive and negative samples of uRDT, and cRDT compared to TBS. All cases occurred during CHMI. Parasite densities of positive samples by TBS ranged from 3.7 to 201.8 p/µL
