Optimal cutoff and accuracy of an IgM enzyme-Linked immunosorbent assay for diagnosis of acute scrub typhus in northern Thailand: an alternative reference method to the IgM immunofluorescence assay

The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been proposed as an alternative serologic diagnostic test to the indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) for scrub typhus. Here, we systematically determine the optimal sample dilution and cutoff optical density (OD) and estimate the accuracy of IgM...
