Evaluation of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay for the Detection of Pneumocystis jirovecii in Immunocompromised Patients

Figure 2

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for LAMP assay. [The true positive rate (sensitivity) is plotted in function of the false positive rate (100 − specificity). The area under the ROC curve, a measure of how well the LAMP assay distinguishes P. jirovecii positive from P. jirovecii negative respiratory samples, is = 0.972, 95% CI (0.961–0.983).]
