Indirect ELISA using purified antigens LAg and SLA. Optical density values were obtained by ELISA for the detection of serum antibodies against antigens LAg (a) and SLA (b). Paired serum samples (n = 13) from confirmed active VL cases before the treatment (AVL), cured VL one month after treatment (CVL), and six-month follow-ups (FU) were investigated against purified leishmanial antigens, LAg and SLA. Serum samples from 13 healthy individuals (HC) and 13 from other diseases were also tested. The cut-off values were selected from the ROC curve where 100% sensitivity and specificity were achieved. Each point represents an average of triplicate values obtained from a single sample
