LOINC long common name : Yellow fever virus ns5 gene [Presence] in Cerebral spinal fluid by NAA with non-probe
detection;
LOINC short name : YFV ns5 gene CSF Ql NAA non-probe;
LOINC description : This assay comprises qRT-PCR targeting the ns5 gene in the yellow fever backbone followed
by melt curve analysis, which identifies DNA fragments with different nucleotide compositions
based on their unique melting temperature. [PMID: 18501437] CSF testing is indicated
for suspected adverse neurological reactions to the vaccine against yellow fever.
Genome detection of CSF yellow fever vaccine in this context is considered diagnostic.
In suspected patients, detection of antibodies against yellow fever in CSF should
also be requested.;
