name
descriptionThis assay comprises qRT-PCR targeting the ns5 gene in the yellow fever backbone followed by melt curve analysis, which identifies DNA fragments with different nucleotide compositions based on their unique melting temperature. [PMID: 18501437] CSF testing is indicated for suspected adverse neurological reactions to the vaccine against yellow fever. Genome detection of CSF yellow fever vaccine in this context is considered diagnostic. In suspected patients, detection of antibodies against yellow fever in CSF should also be requested.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentYellow fever virus ns5 gene
propertyPrThr  =  Present or threshold:  The Property PrThr stands for “Presence or Threshold”, meaning either a) the actual presence or absence of an analyte, or b) that the amount of analyte detected is over some predetermined threshold.
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemCSF  =  Cerebral spinal fluid
scaleOrd  =  Ordinal:  Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive.
methodNon-probe.amp.tar
