Comparison between qPCR and BI/H techniques.
Contrasts | qPCR positive (+) | qPCR negative (−) | Total |
---|---|---|---|
BI/H positive (+) | 96 | 5 | 101 |
BI/H negative (−) | 11 | 14 | 25 |
Total | 107 | 19 | 126 |
The concordance between qPCR and BI/H was 87.30%. qPCR, real time PCR; BI/H, bacilloscopy of histological sections.
