West Nile virus IgG Ab [Presence] in Cerebral spinal fluid by Immunoassay   77953-8

LOINC Code


LOINC code77953-8
nameWest Nile virus IgG Ab [Presence] in Cerebral spinal fluid by Immunoassay
descriptionThis test is indicated for patients having symptoms of meningioencephalitis, as an aid in the presumptive laboratory diagnosis of West Nile virus infection. Positive results must be confirmed. WNV IgG antibodies generally are detected shortly after IgM antibodies and persist for many years following a symptomatic or asymptomatic infection. Therefore, the presence of IgG antibodies alone is only evidence of previous infection. http://www.cdc.gov/westnile/healthcareproviders/healthcareproviders-diagnostic.html. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's West Nile IgG DxSelect Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) test kit.

Fully-Specified Name

componentWest Nile virus Ab.IgG
propertyPrThr  =  Present or threshold:  The Property PrThr stands for “Presence or Threshold”, meaning either a) the actual presence or absence of an analyte, or b) that the amount of analyte detected is over some predetermined threshold.
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemCSF  =  Cerebral spinal fluid
scaleOrd  =  Ordinal:  Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive.
methodIA  =  Immunoassay:  Encompasses all immunoassays with a few exceptions, including Immune Blot and Immune Fluorescence, which were created based on historic usage.

change reasonThe PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.; The 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.
