LOINC Code 78922-2: Respiratory pathogens DNA and RNA panel NAA+probe (Nph)

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 Respiratory pathogens DNA & RNA panel. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Nph.

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: Order
• Panel type: Panel
• Method: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Respiratory pathogens DNA and RNA panel - Nasopharynx by NAA with probe detection
• Respiratory pathogens DNA & RNA panel
• This respiratory pathogens panel detects and identifies respiratory viral and bacterial nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs from patients suspected of respiratory tract infections. Respiratory pathogens cause acute disease of varying severity and diagnosis based on clinical symptoms alone is difficult. Identification of causative agents aids in patient treatment and public health response for disease containment.
