DOIAbstract
<p>Acute-phase sera from (A) 282 MAT-confirmed severe leptospirosis case-patients (259 from Salvador and 23 from Recife, Brazil) and from (B) 28 MAT-confirmed mild leptospirosis case-patients from Salvador. 95% confidence intervals calculated for point estimates of sensitivity and the geometric mean (± geometric standard deviation) calculated for reciprocal MAT titers. DPP = Dual Path Platform; MAT = microagglutination test; ELISA = enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay; ND = not determined because no case-patients were identified within the corresponding time interval.</p
