LOINC long common name : Zika virus IgM Ab [Units/volume] in Serum or Plasma by Immunoassay;
LOINC short name : ZIKV IgM SerPl IA-aCnc;
LOINC description : Quantitative analysis of Zika virus IgM antibodies in serum or plasma specimens by
immunoassay-based methods. Similar to most EIA tests, results are reported as a ratio
of optical densities. Zika virus IgM antibodies become detectable 4-8 days after the
onset of symptoms and persist for months. Serological cross-reactivity is strong between
Zika and other flaviviruses, especially Dengue virus. Therefore, positive results
for this test are presumptive and should be confirmed by neutralizing antibody testing
[LOINC: 80620-8]. Negative results for this test on a sample taken during the first
week of illness does not rule out infection and the test should be repeated on a convalescent
sample.;
