LOINC display name : L. infantum donovani IgG IF [Titer];
LOINC long common name : Leishmania infantum donovani IgG Ab [Titer] in Serum or Plasma by Immunofluorescence;
LOINC short name : L infantum donovani IgG Titr SerPl IF;
LOINC description : This assay detects antibodies against Leishmania donovani IgG for L. infantum screening
based on the known cross reactivity between L. donovani and L. infantum. If the Leishmania
IIFT is positive, a monospecific test (example Westernblot) can be performed to differentiate
the pathogenic agents and confirm the diagnosis. Immunoglobulin specific slides distinguish
between IgG, IgM and IgA. No reaction at a 1:320 titer indicates no IgG class antibodies
against Leishmania donovani are detected, but infection cannot be excluded. A reaction
of a titer at 1:320 is positive indicating a former or acute infection. This term
was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's Anti-Leishmania donovani
indirect immunofluorescence test kit.;
