We determined the optimal cutoff titers in admission and convalescent-phase samples for scrub typhus indirect immunofluorescence assay using Bayesian latent class models. Cutoff titers of ≥1:3,200 in an admission sample or of a ≥4-fold rise to ≥1:3,200 in a convalescent-phase sample provided the highest accuracy (sensitivity, 81.6%; specificity, 100%).
我们使用贝叶斯潜在类别模型确定了恙虫病间接免疫荧光试验中入院和恢复期样本的最佳临界滴度。入院样本中临界滴度≥1:3200或恢复期样本中滴度升高≥4倍至≥1:3200时,准确性最高(敏感性为81.6%;特异性为100%)。
