Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A+B+C+w135+Y+Escherichia coli K1 Ag [Presence] in Specimen by Latex agglutination

Active

Term Description

This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Directigen (TM) Meningitis Combo Test, a latex agglutination test for the direct qualitative detection of antigens to H. influenzae type B, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis Groups A, B, C, Y or W135 and Escherichia coli K1 in CSF, serum or urine, and Group B streptococcus in CSF and serum.

Part Description

LP35881-9   Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A+B+C+w135+Y+Escherichia coli K1
Neisseria meningitidis is a species of gram-negative, aerobic bacteria. It is a commensal and pathogen only of humans, and can be carried asymptomatically in the nasopharynx. When found in cerebrospinal fluid it is the causative agent of cerebrospinal meningitis (meningitis, meningococcal). It can also be found in venereal discharges and blood. At least 13 serogroups have been described based on antigenic differences in the capsular polysaccharides; the ones causing most meningitis infections being A, B, C, Y, and W-135. Outbreaks caused by serogroup X meningococci have also been reported. Each serogroup can be further classified by serotype, serosubtype, and immunotype.

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. 'serogroups'added to the Component for clarification.
