LOINC display name : CMV pp65 Ag/100000 PMN cells IF (Bld);
LOINC long common name : Cytomegalovirus pp65 Ag/100000 PMN cells in Blood by Immunofluorescence;
LOINC short name : CMV pp65 Ag/100000 PMN Bld IF-NFr;
LOINC description : Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) isolation from leukocytes of peripheral blood (viremia)
and/or pp65 antigenemia are evidence for active systemic infection. The number of
pp65-positive PMN (polymorphonuclear cells) per 10*5 PMN are reported. A single stained
cell indicates positive antigenemia. This term was created for, but not limited in
use to, the submitter's CINAkit ARGENE Rapid Antigenemia test kit, which uses an indirect
immunofluorescence method to detect internal matrix phosphoprotein (protein kinase)
pp65 of HCMV.;
