Herpes simplex virus 2 Ag [Presence] in Cornea or Conjunctiva by Immunofluorescence   88679-6

LOINC Code


LOINC code88679-6
nameHerpes simplex virus 2 Ag [Presence] in Cornea or Conjunctiva by Immunofluorescence
descriptionSamples that are positive for herpes simplex display fluorescent intracellular cytoplasmic granules. Some infected cells may show rimming based on staining of the cell membrane.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentHerpes simplex virus 2 Ag
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.
systemCornea/Conjunctiva
scaleOrd  =  Ordinal:  Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive.
methodIF  =  Immune Fluorescence:  Encompasses DFA, IFA, FA. Usually applies to cells and smears examined microscopically so that both the “where” and the “what” can be assessed, but can also be used on fluids in a way similar to ELISA. Does not include Cell binding assays (see CBA IFA above).
