DOIAbstract
<p>Each sample is distinguished by an individual marker. The Pearson’s coefficient correlation was r = 0.84 (p<0.001). Dashed lines represent cut-offs to diagnose MB cases according to scenarios 1 (darkest lines) and 2 (lightest lines). See <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0004934#pntd.0004934.t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a>. Net sensitivity for scenario 1 = (0+59+4)/66 = 0.951. Net specificity for scenario 1 = 86/98 = 0.878. Net sensitivity for scenario 2 = (3+44+9)/66 = 0.848. Net specificity for scenario 2 = 336/365 = 0.908. (MB: multibacillary; PB: paucibacillary; EC: endemic control; HHC: household contacts).</p
