LOINC Code 69756-5: Bordetella sp fila hemagg and pertussis toxin IgA and IgG panel Line blot (S)

What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Bordetella sp filamentous hemagglutinin & pertussis toxin Ab.IgA & IgG panel. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Ser.

When is it used?

• Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
• May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
• Status: ACTIVE
• Order vs observation: Order
• Panel type: Panel
• Method: Line blot

What it does not mean

• The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

• Bordetella sp filamentous hemagglutinin and pertussis toxin Ab.IgA and IgG panel - Serum by Line blot
• Bordetella sp filamentous hemagglutinin & pertussis toxin Ab.IgA & IgG panel
• This panel contains the qualitative results for the detection of Bordetella species IgG and IgA antibodies against pertussis toxin (PT, 28kD) and filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA, 220 kD) in serum using immunoblot test strips. Levels of antibodies against PT and FHA are typically increased following either vaccination or natural exposure to B. pertussis. Detection of IgG antibodies is more sensitive than detection of IgA antibodies since patients may not have a measurable IgA response. A positive PT-100 band indicates the presence of a high IgG antibody concentration (at least 100 IU/ml) against B. pertussis toxin. This panel was created for, but not limited to, the submitter's assay, Viramed Biotech's Bordetella pertussis ViraStripe IgG, IgA test kit.
