After two weeks, all tests demonstrate a sensitivity of 100%, as reported by other groups, (8, 10) except when the cut-off provided by the manufacturer were used for IgG detection (i.e. one of our 15 patients was never considered as positive).	./cache/cord-318013-5om35tu8.txt	./txt/cord-318013-5om35tu8.txt
