  1. Compared to RT-PCR, the positive coincidence rate of ELISA:
  2. 14/(14 + 6) × 100% = 70%; the negative coincidence rate of ELISA: 40/(40 + 0) × 100% = 100%; the total coincidence rate: (14 + 40)/60 = 90%;
  3. a Antigen capture ELISA assay
  4. b Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction
