LOINC Code 82476-3: B. miyamotoi glpQ gene NAA+non-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 Borrelia miyamotoi glpQ 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: Non-probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Borrelia miyamotoi glpQ gene [Presence] in Cerebral spinal fluid by NAA with non-probe detection
• Borrelia miyamotoi glpQ gene
• The DNA amplification target is a gene encoding glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase (GlpQ), which is specific to the Borrelia species in the relapsing fever group. This gene is not found in the Borrelia species that cause Lyme disease. Melting curve analysis is then used to identify the B. miyamotoi organism. A positive result is consistent with active or recent infection. B. miyamotoi infections of the central nervous system are associated with the symptoms and signs of meningoencephalitis.
