Specimen Type
Describes the specimen type validated for testing

Serum

Specimen Required
Defines the optimal specimen required to perform the test and the preferred volume to complete testing

Specimen Type: Serum

Container/Tube: Serum Gel tube

Acceptable: Red top

Specimen Volume: 1 mL

 

Collection Instructions: Draw blood in a serum gel tube(s), plain red-top tube(s) is acceptable. Spin down and send 1 mL of serum refrigerated in a plastic vial.

 

Note: Parallel testing is preferred, and convalescent specimens must be received within 30 days from receipt of the acute specimen. Mark specimens plainly as "acute" or "convalescent".

Specimen Minimum Volume
Defines the amount of sample necessary to provide a clinically relevant result as determined by the Testing Laboratory

0.5 mL

Reject Due To
Identifies specimen types and conditions that may cause the specimen to be rejected

Hemolysis Reject
Lipemia Reject
Icterus Reject
Other Contaminated, heat-inactivated specimens reject; CSF

Specimen Stability Information
Provides a description of the temperatures required to transport a specimen to the performing laboratory, alternate acceptable temperatures are also included

Specimen Type Temperature Time Special Container
Serum Refrigerated (preferred) 14 days
Frozen 30 days

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

<=8 U

 

Interpretive Information:

<9 U Negative: No significant level of cysticercosis IgG antibody detected.

9-11 U Equivocal: Recommended repeat testing in 2-4 weeks with fresh sample.

>11 U Positive: IgG antibody to cysticercosis detected, which may suggest current or past infection.

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

Seroconversion between acute and convalescent sera is considered strong evidence of recent infection. The best evidence for infection is a significant change on two appropriately timed specimens where both tests are done in the same laboratory at the same time.

Patients with collagen vascular diseases, hepatic cirrhosis, schistosomiasis, and other parasitic infections can produce false-positive results. There is a strong cross-reaction between cysticercosis and echinococcosis positive sera. Confirmation of positive ELISA results by the cystercosis antibody, IgG by Western blot is recommended.

PDF Report
Indicates whether the report includes an additional document with charts, images or other enriched information

No

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.

Saturday

Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.

3 to 12 days

Performing Laboratory Location
Indicates the location of the laboratory that performs the test
