Persistence of positivity to rLci5 ELISA compared to other diagnostic tests during the 24-month cohort study. The persistence of diagnostic test positivity was evaluated when a given diagnostic test returned positive results for at least two consecutive time points following the initial diagnosis. The persistence of each diagnostic test was calculated, expressed as frequency and then compared to the other methods using McNemar’s test (**P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001)
