LOINC Code 79388-5: Norovirus genogroup I+II orf1-orf2 junction region NAA+probe Ql (Stl)

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 Norovirus genogroup I+II orf1-orf2 junction region. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Stool.

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: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Norovirus genogroup I+II orf1-orf2 junction region [Presence] in Stool by NAA with probe detection
• Norovirus genogroup I+II orf1-orf2 junction region
• This assay determines the presence of Norovirus genogroup I or II based on detection of the ORF1-ORF2 junction region. The assay does not distinguish between genogroup I and II. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, Nanosphere's Verigene Enteric Pathogens Nucleic Acid Test, which is intended for the detection and identification of common pathogenic enteric bacteria, viruses, and genetic virulence markers in stool specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal infection.
