LOINC Code 74310-4: PRRSV strain Sequencing Nom (Isol)

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 Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus strain. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Isolate.

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: Observation
• Method: Sequencing

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• PRRSV strain [Identifier] in Isolate by Sequencing
• Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus strain
• PRRSV strain identified (e.g. IngelvacMLV like Wild Type) in isolate by sequencing. The submitter's lab performs reverse transcriptase PCR on various specimens, including tissue, serum, oral fluid, and semen, to detect and isolate the ORF5 gene. PCR products are then used for sequencing and identifying the PRRSV strain.
