LOINC long common name : Coxsackievirus IgG Ab [Presence] in Serum or Plasma by Immunoassay;
LOINC short name : CV IgG SerPl Ql IA;
LOINC description : Antibodies in serum or plasma directed against Coxsackievirus can be detected by enzyme
immunoassays. This code was created for, but not limited to, 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.;
