At 2\u20134 months of treatment, urine antigen was more sensitive for clinically detectable disease (82%; CI 60\u201394%) than serum antigen (18%; CI 6\u201341%). The sensitivity of the urine test for clinical relapse was 71% (CI 36\u201392%), with close to 100% specificity (CI 84\u2013100%) during after treatment surveillance in this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Urine Blastomyces antigen testing has high sensitivity for active disease at the time of diagnosis and during treatment, and moderate sensitivity but high specificity for clinical relapse.
