Term Description

The Ebola Zaire PCR assay presumptively detects Ebola Zaire virus, a single-stranded RNA virus identified in the 2014 West Africa outbreak. The assay is used for testing individuals with signs and symptoms of Ebola virus infection, those who are at risk for or may have been exposed to the Ebola Zaire virus, or in accordance with current public health recommendations. The definitive identification of the Ebola Zaire virus requires additional testing and confirmation procedures in consultation with public health. This term was developed for, but is not limited to, use with the Ebola Zaire Target 1 (EZ1) real-time reverse transcription (rRT) polymerase chain reaction (TaqMan®) assay (EZ1 assay), which is run on plasma or whole blood specimens. As of August 2014, the EZ1 assay is approved for use under an FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) [http://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/Safety/EmergencySituations/UCM408334.pdf] by specified laboratories and clinical laboratory personnel who have been trained on instruments authorized by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Part Description

LP185762-4   Ebola Zaire virus
Ebola virus is one cause of viral hemorrhagic fever disease and has 5 subspecies, including Ebola Zaire, which was the type identified in the West Africa outbreak in 2014. Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected symptomatic person or though exposure to objects (such as needles) that have been contaminated with infected secretions. Symptoms most often appear 8 to 10 days after exposure to the virus and include fever, headache, joint and muscle aches, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, lack of appetite, and abnormal bleeding.
Ebola Zaire is a single-stranded RNA virus, and it is the viral RNA that is detected by the Ebola Zaire real-time reverse transcription (rRT) polymerase chain reaction assay. Source: Regenstrief LOINC

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.
