LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 78018-9 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Toscana virus IgG Ab [Presence] in Cerebral spinal fluid by Immunoassay | ||
| description | Because Toscana virus is a known etiologic agent of meningitis, meningoencephalitis, and encephalitis, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may be tested. Specific antibodies for IgM are present during the acute phase of the Toscana Virus infection, while the presence of specific IgG antibodies in the absence of IgM indicates a previous infection. Cross reactions cannot be excluded with other correlated serotypes of Phlebovirus such as Sicily and Naples. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's Diesse ENZYWELL TOSCANA VIRUS IgG/IgM test kit.. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Toscana virus Ab.IgG | ||
| property | PrThr = 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. | ||
| 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 | CSF = Cerebral spinal fluid | ||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||
| method | IA = Immunoassay: Encompasses all immunoassays with a few exceptions, including Immune Blot and Immune Fluorescence, which were created based on historic usage. | ||
Additional Names | |||
| short name | TOSV IgG CSF Ql IA | ||

| change reason | The 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. | ||
