Performance of urine pre-treatment methods for urine O. viverrini Excretory Secretory (OV-ES) assay using Sample Set 1
As shown in Fig 1, the TCA method produced an ROC curve with the highest AUC of 0.9925. The sensitivity and specificity for each urine treatment method are reported in Table 3. Samples treated by the TCA method increased the OD range of the assay as shown in Table 3, i.e., treating urine with TCA produced the highest OD levels in the urine OV-ES assay compared to the other treatment methods.
