aSensitivity, 100% (95% confidence interval [CI], 94%–100%); specificity, 100% (95% CI, 98%–100%); bSensitivity, 100% (95% CI, 91%–100%); specificity, 100% (95% CI, 98%–100%). Because a negative control was not available for symptom onset, we used all 161 samples in each group. Abbreviations: RT-PCR, real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.
