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.
Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
This assay detects antibodies against recombinant Hantavirus antigens of both old world and new world Hantavirus types. The immune response to Hantavirus infection is not type-specific, and thus cross-reactivity may occur. All Hantavirus IgM-positive samples from US residents will be sent to a Public Health Laboratory for Sin Nombre Virus (SNV)-specific IgM testing. Samples that are Hantavirus IgG positive but IgM negative will not be subjected to further type-specific testing, since the lack of IgM rules out acute infection.

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.
