LOINC Code 80353-6: HSV 1 genome DNA polymerase region B+thymidine kinase region C NAA+probe Ql (Anogenital)

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 Herpes simplex virus 1 genome DNA polymerase region B+thymidine kinase region C. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Anogenital.

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

• Herpes simplex virus 1 genome DNA polymerase region B+thymidine kinase region C [Presence] in Anogenital specimen by NAA with probe detection
• Herpes simplex virus 1 genome DNA polymerase region B+thymidine kinase region C
• This assay detects herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1 using two different probes, one for genome DNA polymerase region B and one for thymidine kinase region C. If either of the probes produces a sufficient signal the result is considered positive. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the Roche cobas® HSV 1 and 2 Test, which is intended for use as an aid in diagnosis of anogenital HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections in symptomatic patients. The cobas HSV 1 and 2 Test is not FDA cleared for use with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and is not intended to be used for prenatal screening or for individuals under the age of 18 years.
