Table 5. Identification of Candida albicans by first observer

There was absolute concordance in the identification of Candida albicans by the first observer in those specimens stained with WGA and those stained by methenamine silver. Sensitivity=100% (95% CI: 93.51-100.00), Specificity=100% (95% CI: 93.51-100.00). Likelihood ratio: LR+=110.0 (95% CI: 12.18-1043.45), Likelihood ratio: LR-=0.00 (95% CI: 0.001-0.084).
