Area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC AUC) for testing the ability of the LC Q-PCR to distinguish active from inactive brucellosis. ROC curves were constructed by plotting sensitivity and 1-specificity corresponding to each cut-off value for the Brucella DNA load. (a) Considering a cut-off of 5 × 103 copies/mL. (b) Considering a cut-off of 2.2 × 105 copies/mL to achieve a specificity of 100%.
