LOINC Code 80826-1: ZIKV E gene NAA+probe Ql (CSF)

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 Zika virus envelope (E) gene. It is commonly used with the system or sample type CSF.

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

• Zika virus envelope E gene [Presence] in Cerebral spinal fluid by NAA with probe detection
• Zika virus envelope (E) gene
• Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Trioplex Real-time RT-PCR Assay protocol, acceptable specimens for Zika testing are serum (not plasma), cerebrospinal fluid, urine, and amniotic fluid, and the probe target is the Zika virus envelope (E) gene.
