The Tuberculosis Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma)for the qualitative detection of anti-TB antibodies (Isotypes IgG, IgM and IgA) in whole blood, serum or plasma specimens.
The Tuberculosis Rapid Test Cassette(Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma)has been calibrated against specimens that have been collected from individuals found to be either smear positive/negative or culture positive/negative. The results show that the relative sensitivity of f the Tuberculosis Rapid Test Cassette(Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma)is 83.8%, the relative specificity is 98.8 % and the relative accuracy is 95.7%.
Relative Sensitivity:88/105=83.8% (95%CI*: 75.3%~90.3%);
Relative Specificity: 405/410=98.8% (95%CI*: 97.2%~99.6%);
.Relative Accuracy: (88+405)/(88+17+5+405)=493/515=95.7% (95%CI*: 93.6%~97.3%).*Confidence Intervals
