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

componentNeisseria meningitidis serogroups A+B+C+w135+Y+Escherichia coli K1 Ag
    B  =  Buccal
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.

last change typeMIN  - change to field other than name
change reasonThe 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.
