Evaluation of a genus-specific rGroEL1-524 IgM-ELISA and commercial ELISA kits during the course of leptospirosis in Thailand

Abstract In the present study, we developed a genus-specific rGroEL1-524 IgM-ELISA assay for use in screening diagnosis of suspected leptospirosis among acute undifferentiated febrile illness patients during acute fever. The diagnostic accuracies of the rGroEL1–524 IgM-ELISA, commercial Panbio IgM-E...
