LOINC long common name : Coxsackievirus IgM Ab [Presence] in Serum or Plasma by Immunoassay;
LOINC short name : CV IgM SerPl Ql IA;
LOINC description : Antibodies in serum or plasma directed against Coxsackievirus can be detected by enzyme
immunoassays. We created this code for Institut Viron's SERION ELISA classic Coxsackievirus
IgA/IgG/IgM test kit, which utilizes antigens for Coxsackieviruses serotypes B1 and
B6. These antigens, described as widely cross-reactive, are used to facilitate the
detection of infections due to other Coxsackieviruses serotypes. Due to the high homology
of the viruses, cross reactions with Coxsackieviruses and other Enteroviruses as well
as Hepatitis A virus, Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Rhinoviruses
and Mycoplasma have been described. A positive IgA and/or IgM test result combined
with increasing IgG titer is diagnostic of an acute or recent Coxsackievirus infection.;
