Epstein Barr virus nuclear 1 IgG and IgM [Color Ratio] in Serum or Plasma by Rapid immunoassay   72206-6

LOINC Code


LOINC code72206-6
nameEpstein Barr virus nuclear 1 IgG and IgM [Color Ratio] in Serum or Plasma by Rapid immunoassay
descriptionThe presence of anti-Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen-1 (anti-EBNA-1) IgM and anti-EBNA-1 IgG antibodies in human serum/plasma can be simultaneously detected by rapid ELISA. Results are used to aid in the diagnosis of acute Infectious Mononucleosis (IM). The relative strength of IgG and IgM reactions is visually compared. When IgM is greater than or equal to IgG, it is indicative of acute/current mononucleosis infection and the test is reported as "positive." When IgG response is greater than IgM, it is indicative of previous exposure and the test is reported as "negative." Absence of both IgG and IgM is also "negative" and indicates no previous exposure to EBV. This code is based on, but not limited to, Merdian BioScience's MONOLERT Rapid ELISA Test for infectious Mononucleosis.

History/Usage

last change typeMIN  - change to field other than name
change reasonThe EIA method, which was always intended to cover more than just enzyme-linked immunoassay and whose display name for the long common name has always been Immunoassay, was renamed IA in order to eliminate ambiguity about whether the method has a broader meaning than just enzyme-linked immunoassay. Likewise, EIA.rapid was renamed IA.rapid. These changes were approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
