Most are located on the hands, wrists, and arms.`Skin samples are obtained by scraping the superficial layers of skin over a burrow or papule (bump) using a scalpel.`COLLECTION PROTOCOL:`The following materials are needed: gloves, mineral oil, a No. 15 scalpel, a glass slide, a 24 X 30 or a 24 X 40 mm glass cover slip, and an empty petri plate for slide transport.`After donning appropriate personal protection equipment (gown or lab coat and gloves), identify the area(s) to be scraped. `Place one drop of mineral oil on a sterile No. 15 scalpel. Mites and skin scales will adhere to the oil.`Allow some of the mineral oil to flow onto the site (papule - aka bump) to be scraped. `Scrape vigorously 6-7 times to remove the top of the papule. The objective is to remove the superficial layers of the skin over a burrow or papule to a depth at which pinpoint bleeding occurs - remembering that the goal is to 'coax' the happy adult mite and any eggs from their warm, comfortable home at the terminal end of a burrow or papule. There should be tiny flecks of blood in the oil. Be sure to retract the scalpel blade when not in use to avoid puncturing yourself. `FOR INPATIENTS ONLY: `Making sure the etched portion of the glass slide is facing up, transfer the oil and scraped material onto a labeled glass slide.`Add 1 drop of mineral oil to the transferred material on the slide, and stir the mixture. Any large clumps can be crushed to expose hidden mites.`Place a coverslip on the slide.`Place the prepared slide into a plastic petri plate for transport to Microbiology. `FOR OUTPATIENTS:`Place the skin scrapings in a red-top Vacutainer tube for`transport to the testing laboratory.`REFERENCES:`Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases, 5th edition, 2000, pg. 2974-2976.`Diagnostic Medical Parasitology, 3rd edition, 1997, pg. 549-553.`Manual of Clinical Microbiology, 7th edition, 1999, pg. 1463.

A negative result does not absolutely rule out the presence of the fusion transcript in this patient's sample. This test is performed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR using fluorescence detection. Analytical specificity: detects the three major fusion transcripts, b3a2, b2a2, and e1a2.

Limit of detection and limit of quantification for p190: 0.01% and 0.1%.Notes Direct comparison of results generated in different laboratories is not recommended due to variation between assay configurations. Direct comparison of sequential results generated from the same sample type will provide the most meaningful information. Test results should always be considered complimentary to morphologic and other relevant data; therefore, should not be independently used to make a diagnosis of malignancy.

Collection procedure Collect and handle anaerobically. The tube should be filled completely to limit the loss of CO2. Specimen processing Allow the tube to clot 0.5-1 hour. Recommend centrifuging at 1000 RCF for 10-15 minutes. refrigerate and transport. Centrifuged samples are stable at RT-2 hours and Refrigerated-1 week. Stability- Room temp 2 hours Refrigerated 1 week Frozen (-20°C) See notes below. Frozen (-70°C) Unacceptable conditions Specimens shipped on dry ice, hemolyzed or setting in ice cubes only without water. Samples frozen on separator gel. Alternate specimens Serum (plain red top tubes). Allow to clot as for SST, then without delay cleanly transfer 1-2 mL serum closest to cells into separate plastic tube, cap, and refrigerate. If serum cannot be analyzed within the 1 week refrigerated stability, remove cap and obtain sample from the area close to serum separator gel. Put serum in a separate plastic tube and freeze. Stable frozen - 6 months. DO NOT freeze sample on separator gel. Limitations Bedrest for 3 days or more may elevate ionized calcium into the abnormal range. Within the pH range of 7.2-7.6 the normalized calcium value included in the report represents what the ionized calcium concentration would be if the pH of the sample was 7.4 For specimens with pH values outside the 7.2-7.6 range, only the ionized calcium value will be reported since the pH is out of range to calculate the normalized value. This ionized calcium result alone may not reflect the physiologic calcium status due to the pH of the specimen. In rare instances where either the ionized calcium or the pH is beyond the range of the instrument (i.e., ionized calcium <0.8 or >20 mg/dL, and pH < 6.0 or > 8.8), no results will be reported. Department Chemistry CPT codes 82330 Test schedule Daily & STAT Turnaround time 1-2 days Method ISE Test includes Calcium, Ionized, mg/dL; Calcium, Normalized, mg/dL. Reference ranges Notes The pH range is critical. For specimens with pH values outside the 7.2-7.6 range only the ionized calcium will be reported. Do not ship on dry ice, ship on cold packs, dry ice can cause supersaturation of CO2 and lower pH. In rare instances where the ionized calcium is beyond the range of the instrument (LT 0.8 or GT 8.8 mg/dL) results will be reported as less than or greater than these limits. The least preferred specimen is a full Sursep microtainer ensuring minimum air exposure when drawing. Handle as above. Cord blood handled as above.
