What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Trichomonas vaginalis rRNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type XXX.

When is it used?

• Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
• May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
• Status: ACTIVE
• Order vs observation: Both
• Method: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

• The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

• Trichomonas vaginalis rRNA [Presence] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection
• Trichomonas vaginalis rRNA
• Cultures of fresh trichomonas vaginalis are difficult, slow (6-7 days), and relatively insensitive compared to genetic methods. Wet mount is insensitive compared to culture.
