Hepatitis testing - Quenby

Posted: Apr 17, 2010

Hepatitis testing: Hepatitis cAb IgG serum reactive, hepatitis C RNA - s/l QLBPC positive.

Not really sure about any of this, but I have no idea what he is saying at the s/l.

thanks

QL makes me think qualitative - Jake

"hepatitis C RNA - s/l QLBPC positive".

I think of "qualitative" when I see the QL, and I found this: "Qualitative HCV RNA tests are used to diagnose hepatitis C" at http://www.allabouthepatitisc.com/readytolearn/getting_tested/visiting/rna.jsp , and it goes into a comparison of the qualitative with the quantitative.

I don't have more yet (and even this might be off), but I'll look again if I have time when I finish my tx. -J

HCV RNA ql PCR positive (maybe?) - Jake

HCV RNA ql PCR positive (final guess)

Hi Quenby, I took a swipe at it, but I'm still not certain. It was a good educational diversion from starting tx though; tks! :-) Do you have the dictation to relisten to it at this late date?

Resource: http://www.hepatitis.va.gov/vahep?page=diag-tests-03-02
"The qualitative HCV RNA tests use either a process called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or a process called transcription-mediated amplification (TMA). ..." (U.S. Dept of VA site)

Best regards, J

No, I don't have it anymore, but thanks so much for all your help. I sent it to QA. If they get back to me, I'll let you know what it was.

Thanks again.

It is truly laughable that MQ expects US MTs to jump through hoops, passing their tests, audits, trying to decipher absolute garbage and paying us like we were 6 month trainees, etc., and then have the audacity to send work to India. I hope MQ gets its due for all the grief they have caused and their role in the demise of this industry! If Verizon were to put them out of business, that would definitely be what they deserve. ...

How are you supposed to know whether to put the headings and text on the same line or put the text on the line under the heading, put a colon after heading or not put a colon? They said they go by BOS, but all I see pertaining to that in the BOS is the sample reports where they put the text under the heading with no colons after the heading. I guess I'll just do it that way. ...

I am hoping someone can help me out with this question. I am a single mother with a 3 and 6 year old. I recently resigned from my job due to management.

I was working for a corporation and management there were all for sabotaging people. Since I have left my job, I knew that I could always come back to transcribing. I am taking tests to only find out, I didn ...

How many of you think that testing to get an MT job absolutely ridiculous? When you apply to these so-called medical transcription companies, you send them your resume which I am sure highlights not only your experience, but also your education that you paid good money for and worked hard to obtain. Yet, they still make you take a test. Have you realized that the tests are designed for you to fail? Your whole future is based on one test. Your experience and you ...

This surgeon dictates the same over and over in multiple reports, and I cannot understand what type of testing this is.

I thought about the possibility of manual test, but that just does not sound like what he is saying. Thanks so much! ...
