| name | Cytomegalovirus DNA [#/volume] (viral load) in DBS by NAA with probe detection | ||
| description | Cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in dried blood spots can be used for retrospective diagnosis of congenital CMV, for example, in patients with unexplained childhood-onset hearing loss. Utility of the test in newborn screening for CMV infection has not been established. [PMID: 25889596] Dried blood spot testing may also be used to monitor immunocompromised patients, such as those who have undergone organ transplant. [PMID: 24483296] | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Cytomegalovirus DNA | ||
| property | NCnc = Number Concentration (count/vol) | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | Bld.dot = Blood filter paper | ||
| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||
