MVista® Coccidioides Antigen Quantitative EIA (NY)
Test Code93348
CPT Codes
87449<br><strong>This test is for New York patient testing only. For non-New York patient testing, refer to test code 19448.</strong>
Preferred Specimen
1.2 mL serum
Minimum Volume
0.8 mL
Other Acceptable Specimens
Plasma collected in: EDTA (lavender-top) tube • CSF, urine, or bronchial lavage/wash submitted in a sterile leak-proof container
Instructions
Serum: Allow blood to clot for 30 minutes, then centrifuge. Pipette serum into a transport tube. Plasma: Centrifuge for 15 minutes and pipette into a transport tube.
Note: Non-NY patients for specimen types Other body fluid, plasma in sodium citrate (light blue-top) tube, Plasma in Sodium heparin (green-top) tube please order test code 19448.
Note: Ship next day service Monday-Friday delivery.
Limitations:
The result is not intended to be used as the sole means for clinical diagnosis or patient management decisions.
Cross reactions are seen with histoplasmosis, blastomycosis and paracoccidioidomycosis. Sputolysin, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide treatment degrade the analyte detected in the assay.
Low positive cross-reactions can occur in patient populations with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
