Part Descriptions
LP212413-1 Cryptococcus gattii+neoformans
Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii are fungi species known to cause pulmonary and systemic cryptococcosis. C. neoformans causes severe meningitis and meningo-encephalitis in patients with advanced HIV/AIDS. C. gattii is found primarily in tropical and subtropical climates and is capable of causing cryptococcosis in non-immunocompromised patients. More recently, an outbreak of C. gattii occurred in British Columbia, possibly due to global warming. PMCID: PMC535360

LP7238-1 Body fld
The LOINC "Body fld" System represents body fluids other than serum, plasma, blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. When a LOINC term with the System "Body fld" is used, the specific specimen source or body fluid type should be reported elsewhere with the result. Where more specific terms for pleural, peritoneal, synovial fluid, etc. exist, we encourage you to use the more specific terms. In contrast to "Body fld", the System "Asp" in LOINC represents the fluid withdrawn during an aspiration procedure from an abnormal collection of fluid, such as from an abscess or cyst. "Asp" is used for abnormal fluid collections that are aspirated, while "Body fld" is used for named body fluids, such as synovial fluid or peritoneal fluid, that are not inherently pathologic.
