Sensitivities and specificities of the <i>T. cruzi</i> satDNA and kDNA OligoC-TesTs on 187 Chagas patients and 114 endemic and non-endemic controls from Chile, Argentina, Spain, Sudan and D.R. Congo.

<p>Notes: 95% CI = 95% confidence interval; Non-end. = Non-endemic; I = first repetition; II = second repetition; N.D. = not done due to limited number of test kits available;</p><p>^a All Chagas patients recruited at the Hospital Ramón y Cajal in Madrid were from Bolivian origin.</p

Demographic characteristics of the participants recruited in the study and specifications of blood collections and reference tests.

<p>Notes: ND: not done; a: ELISA Chagas III, GrupoBios S.A., Chile; b: In house protocol with <i>T. cruzi</i> Tulahuen strain; c: Chagatest ELISA recombinant v. 4.0, Wiener Lab, Argentina; d: Chagatest HAI, Wiener Lab, Argentina; e: In house protocol with <i>T. cruzi</i> Dm28, MC & T strain; f: In house protocol with <i>T. cruzi</i> Dm28,MC & T strain.</p
