Table 2

Correlating between the findings of Blood Smear Examination (BSE), Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).

		Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
		Positive	Negative
Blood Smear Examination (BSE)	Positive	12^abc	2^bc	Positive	Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
	Negative	13^ac	20^c	Positive
	Positive	8^ab	3^b	Negative
	Negative	49^a	77^d	Negative

Superscript “a” indicates samples positive by PCR, “b” indicates samples positive by blood smear examination, “c” indicates samples positive by ELISA, and “d” indicates samples negative by all three testes.
