Rickettsia (RMSF) Antibodies (IgG, IgM) with Reflex to Titers
Alternative Name: Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Spotted Fever Typhus
Clinical Significance: Rickettsia (RMSF) Antibodies (IgG, IgM) with Reflex to Titers - Antigen specific IgG and IgM titers allow rapid diagnosis of infection by any of the spotted fever group of rickettsial agents. This group of agents include R. rickettsii (Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever) and R. akari (rickettsial pox), both seen in the continental United States.
Includes: If Rickettsia (RMSF) Antibodies (IgG, IgM) is Detected, the appropriate Titer will be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 86757 per titer performed).
Methodology: Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA)
