Note
1. As per ISTH guidelines Lupus Anticoagulant detection must be done by using at least two clot based
assays employing separate clotting principles like PTT-LA & dRVVT.
2. Results of this test should always be interpreted in conjunction with the patient’s medical history,
al
Edoxaban [Savaysa]) may result in a false-positive assay performance for LA. Clinical correlation and
repeat testing after discontinuation (>1 week) of anticoagulation therapy is suggested.
6. Although the dilute Russell viper venom time (DRVVT) reagents contain a heparin inhibitor
(Polybrene) that is sufficient for neutralization of heparin (up to 1-2 U/mL), the results may not
necessarily represent what would occur if no heparin were present in the specimen. Therefore,

7. DRVVT assays, when performed in isolation, will not distinguish LA from heparin or inhibitors of
ab
factors V or VIII, which may cause false-positive results of LA testing.
8. Test conducted on Citrated plasma.
Comments
L
Lupus Anticoagulants are heterogenous IgG or IgM autoantibodies which interfere with phospholipid
dependent in vitro coagulation tests, particularly activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). These
antibodies are associated with thrombosis (arterial & venous), recurrent abortions, neurological &
th
neuropsychiatric disorders. Various methods for testing Lupus Anticoagulants include PTT-LA, activated
kaolin clotting time and dilute Russels Viper Venom time. Out of these the DrVVT assay is the most robust &
specific because DrVVT is not influenced by deficiencies of intrinsic pathway or antibodies to factors VIII, IX or
Pa
XI.

1. This assay is used for quantitative detection of specific IgG antibodies to TORCH in serum samples.
2. Positive result indicates past infection with TORCH. Pregnant females with positive TORCH specific
IgG antibodies are considered to be immune and hence risk of transmission of infection to fetus is
minimal.
3. Equivocal results should be re-tested in 10-14 days.
D
4. Negative result indicates person has not been exposed to TORCH in the past. Pregnant females with
negative TORCH specific IgG antibodies are considered at risk of transmission of infection to fetus .
Patients with negative results in suspected disease should be re -tested after 10-14 days. False
negative results can be due to immunosuppression or due to low/undetectable level of IgG antibodies.
5. To differentiate between recent and past infection, Toxoplasma, Rubella & CMV IgG avidity test is
indicated.
6. Demonstration of rising antibody titer (four folds) in acute and convalescent sera taken 2-3 weeks

TORCH Extended IgM
1. This assay is used for quantitative detection of specific IgM antibodies to TORCH in serum samples.
L
2. Positive result for TORCH IgM indicates possible acute infection with TORCH. False positive reaction
due to rheumatoid factor and persistence of positive IgM (except Herpes Simplex virus) for upto 2
th
years is not uncommon.
3. An equivocal result requires repeat testing in 10-14 days.
4. Negative result indicates no serological evidence of infection with TORCH. False negative can be due
to immunosuppression or due to low/undetectable level of IgM antibodies. A suspected diagnosis of
Pa
acute TORCH infection should be confirmed by PCR analysis or repeat test after 10-14 days.
5. The diagnosis should not be established on the basis of single test and the results should be
interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings.
6. The magnitude of the measured result is not indicative of the amount of antibody present.
Comments
al
Perinatal infections account for 2-3% of all congenital anomalies. TORCH which includes Toxoplasma,
Rubella, Cytomegalovirus & Herpes Simplex virus, are some of the most common infections associated
with Congenital anomalies. Most of the TORCH infections cause mild maternal morbidity, but have serious
fetal consequences. Reliable recognition of acute infection is highly important in pregnant women.
rL
IgM-positive result alone does not accurately predict the risk of fetal infection; a positive IgM test should
therefore be considered only as a starting point and a more thorough diagnostic evaluation is necessary to
determine whether there is a risk of fetal infection. Primary CMV infection may result in establishment of
persistent or latent infection. In man the infection is usually asymptomatic. Infections can be acquired through
direct contact with individuals shedding the virus. Once HSV infection occurs, it persists in a latent state in
D
sensory ganglia from where it may re-emerge to cause periodic recurrence of infection induced by many
stimuli, which may or may not result in clinical lesions. Demonstration of Toxoplasma IgG in the serum of
person with eye lesion helps in diagnosing ocular toxoplasmosis while persistent or increasing IgG antibody
levels in the infant compared with the mother and/or positive result of Toxoplasma specific IgM or IgA are
diagnostic of Congenital toxoplasmosis. Demonstration of rising antibody titer (four folds) in acute and
convalescent sera taken 2-3 weeks apart are indicative of postnatal Rubella infection and to check response
to Rubella vaccination. Single test results of CMV IgG are useful in screening organ transplant recipients and
donors before transplantation and donors of blood products that are to be administered to premature infants

Antinuclear antibodies are the most sensitive screening test for autoantibodies in patients suspected of
connective tissue diseases. They are a heterogenous group of autoantibodies directed against ds-DNA,
histones, SSA / Ro, SSB / La, Sm, Sm / RNP, Scl-70, Jo-1 & Centromere. ANA ‘s have also been detected in
al
patients with Autoimmune Hepatitis (80%),Primary biliary cirrhosis (60%), Alcohol related liver disease (50%),
Viral hepatitis B (40%). Presence of ANA has also been detected in individuals taking certain drugs like
Hydrallazine, Isoniazid, Chlorpromazine; family of SLE patients; healthy and elderly persons

Anticardiolipin antibodies(ACA) belong to the group of Antiphospholipid antibodies which are positive in
30-40% cases of Systemic lupus erythematosus and also in patients with other Rheumatic diseases.
Presence of cardiolipin antibodies is considered to be of significant diagnostic relevance in cases of
Venous/Arterial thrombosis, Thrombocytopenia, Livedo reticularis, Habitual abortions and Neurological
manifestations. Elevated ACA levels are also seen in patients with Cardiovascular insufficiency and

Comments
Phospholipid antibody is a quantitative assay to screen the presence of autoantibodies against cardiolipin,
phosphatidyl serine, phosphatidyl inositol & phosphatidic acid in the diagnosis of an increased risk of
thrombosis in patients with Systemic lupus erythematosus (20-35%) and other lupus like disorders.
al
This test is also used to diagnose Anti-phospholipid syndrome in patients with recent miscarriage ( 11-22% in
all trimesters), Pulmonary hypertension, Non-vegetative endocarditis, Livedoreticularis, Stroke at young age
and Deep vein thrombosis.
