ELISA test performed with the sera from patients positive for leprosy using rMLP15. The results from indirect ELISA-rMLP15 for patient sera. a ELISA-rMLP15 in the sera from 24 leprosy patients and 14 healthy controls (HC). b Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve used to distinguish between positive and healthy controls (HC). c The levels of anti-rMLP15 IgG stratified paucibacillary patients (PB) and multibacillary patients (MB). d The levels of IgG anti-rMLP15 compared in HC (14), MB (10), and PB (14) patients; the serum levels were analyzed by ANOVA, followed by post hoc using Dunn’s test. **p < 0.001. AUC area under the curve, CI confidence interval, Se sensitivity, Sp specificity, LR likelihood ratio, PB paucibacillary, and MB multibacillary
