DOE: Ref Parvo B19 PCR
CPT Code
87799
Specimen
Lavender or pink EDTA tube, collect 2 ml blood

Interpretative Information
The quantitative range of this test is 2.0- 8.0 log IU/mL (100 - 100,000,000 IU/mL).
A negative result (less than 2.0 log IU/mL or less than 100 IU/mL) does not rule out the presence of PCR inhibitors in the patient specimen or Parvovirus DNA concentrations below the level of detection of the test. Inhibition may also lead to underestimation of viral quantitation.
