LOINC Code 85799-5: B. pertussis+bronchiseptica+holmesii IS481 DNA NAA+probe (Specimen) [ThreshNum]

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 Bordetella pertussis+bronchiseptica+holmesii IS481 DNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type XXX.

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

• Bordetella pertussis+bronchiseptica+holmesii IS481 DNA [Cycle Threshold #] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection
• Bordetella pertussis+bronchiseptica+holmesii IS481 DNA
• The quantitative (Ct) value of the IS481 insertional element DNA sequence of the Bordetella pertussis and B. holmesii genomes detected in clinical specimens or culture isolates. B. bronchiseptica may also be detected in this assay but is primarily an animal pathogen and rarely found in humans. This assay does not differentiate between the Bordetella species. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Antimicrobial Resistance Laboratory Network's (ARLN) multiplex real-time PCR assay.
