| Abstract |
This study investigated the comparative accuracy of a recombinant p56 kDa type-specific antigen-based rapid diagnostic test (RDT) for scrub typhus for the detection of IgM antibodies using conventional serology, in well-characterized serum samples from undifferentiated febrile illness patients. The RDT showed high specificity and promising comparative accuracy with 82% sensitivity and 98% specificity for samples defined positive at the IgM IFA positivity cutoff titer of ≥1:1,600, versus 92% and 95% at ≥1:6,400, respectively. |
