| description | Quantitative measurement of (1-3)-beta-D-Glucan in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) of patients with symptoms or predisposing conditions for invasive fungal infection. (1-3)-beta-D-Glucan is an abundant cell wall polysaccharide found in most fungi. Testing is performed as diagnostic and prognostic aid of central nervous system (CNS) fungal infection and to evaluate for fungal meningitis associated with exposure to contaminated epidural steroid injections.[PMID: 25378578][PMID: 23363831] | |
| status | ACTIVE | |
Fully-Specified Name | ||
| component | 1,3 beta glucan | |
| property | MCnc = Mass Concentration | |
| 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 | CSF = Cerebral spinal fluid | |
| 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 | |
