LOINC display name : B. miyamotoi glpQ gene NAA non-probe Ql (CSF);
LOINC long common name : Borrelia miyamotoi glpQ gene [Presence] in Cerebral spinal fluid by NAA with non-probe
detection;
LOINC short name : B miyamotoi glpQ CSF Ql NAA non-probe;
LOINC description : The DNA amplification target is a gene encoding glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase
(GlpQ), which is specific to the Borrelia species in the relapsing fever group. This
gene is not found in the Borrelia species that cause Lyme disease. Melting curve analysis
is then used to identify the B. miyamotoi organism. A positive result is consistent
with active or recent infection. B. miyamotoi infections of the central nervous system
are associated with the symptoms and signs of meningoencephalitis.;
