Penicillin Parenteral [Susceptibility] for meningitis by Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) 55137-4
LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 55137-4 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Penicillin Parenteral [Susceptibility] for meningitis by Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) | ||
| description | Susceptibility of an isolate to parenteral penicillin in the context of a patient with meningitis, i.e., the "meningitis breakpoint". Various agencies, including the FDA and CLSI in the U.S. and EUCAST in Europe, publish guidelines for determining susceptibility of different organisms to different antimicrobials. In most cases, susceptibility does not vary by type of infection, but for a few specific types of infection, including meningitis, pneumonia and urinary tract infection, certain antimicrobials have different susceptibility thresholds. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Penicillin.parenteral | ||
| property | Susc = Susceptibility | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | Isolate.meningitis = Isolate from patient with meningitis | ||
| scale | OrdQn = Quantitative or Ordinal: Test can be reported as either Ord or Qn, e.g., an antimicrobial susceptibility that can be reported as resistant, intermediate, susceptible or as the mm diameter of the inhibition zone. We discourage the use of OrdQn in other circumstances. | ||
| method | MIC = Minimum Inhibitory Concentration: Antibiotic susceptibilities | ||
