Part Descriptions
LP411489-0 Blastomyces sp Ag
Blastomyces sp antigen testing is used to assist in the diagnosis and monitoring of Blastomycosis, a serious and potentially fatal fungal infection. Testing can be performed on a variety of specimens, including urine, serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), offering a non-invasive way to diagnose blastomycosis. A positive Blastomyces antigen test may eliminate the need for surgical biopsy. In the case of a positive test results, patient exposure and travel history should be reviewed carefully as cross reaction of the Blastomyces antigen test and other dimorphic fungi is possible.

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 In contrast to "Body fld", the System "Asp" in LOINC represents the fluid withdrawn during an aspiration procedure from an abnormal collection of fluid, such as from an abscess or cyst.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.
