LOINC Code 82780-8: B. miyamotoi flaB gene NAA+probe Ql (tick)

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 flaB gene. It is commonly used with the system or sample type ^Tick.

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

• Borrelia miyamotoi flaB gene [Presence] in Tick by NAA with probe detection
• Borrelia miyamotoi flaB gene
• Detection of Borrelia miyamotoi DNA in black-legged ticks helps inform the potential risk for transmission of this organism to humans; human infection must be confirmed independently through patient testing. The target for the Borrelia miyamotoi PCR assay is the conserved region within the flagellin (flaB) gene.
