Additional Information
Sera that are repeatedly reactive will automatically be tested by the HTLV-I/II Confirmatory Line Immunoassay (HTLVLIA, Mayo 83277) at an additional charge. By ordering this test the clinician acknowledges that additional reflex testing will be performed and billed at a separate additional charge if indicated. Test sent to Mayo Medical Laboratories.
