Term Description

Legionella bacteria in various patient specimens (lung tissues, respiratory tract fluids, and cultures) can be detected by immunofluorescent assays. This codes was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's test kit, Zeus Scientific's Legionella DFA Test system. Results are based on the number of typical bacilli observed along with the intensity of bacterial cell wall fluorescence observed. Cultures that are morphologically typical and brightly fluorescent (3+ to 4+) are considered positive.

Change Reason
The PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
