LOINC Code 72206-6: EBV nuclear 1 IgG and IgM IA.rapid Nom

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 Epstein Barr virus nuclear 1 Ab.IgG & IgM. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Ser/Plas.

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: Both
• Method: IA.rapid

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Epstein Barr virus nuclear 1 IgG and IgM [Color Ratio] in Serum or Plasma by Rapid immunoassay
• Epstein Barr virus nuclear 1 Ab.IgG & IgM
• The 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.
