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 Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus Ab.IgG. 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: Observation
• Method: IF

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus IgG Ab [Presence] in Serum by Immunofluorescence
• Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus Ab.IgG
• This term is used to report the presence or absence of IgG antibodies against Porcine epidemic virus (PEDv) based on an immunofluorescence staining pattern. IgG antibodies to PEDv are typically be detected 7 to 14 days following exposure. Samples are compared to positive and negative controls. If cells fluoresce brilliant blue-green color against a background of non-infected cells, then the sample is considered positive; If cells do not fluoresce brilliantly but may show background non-specific fluorescence, then the sample is considered negative.; If cells fluoresce weakly and is not background fluorescence, then the sample is considered suspect. If high background fluorescence does not allow for an accurate determination to be made, then the sample is considered inconclusive.
