What does this LOINC code represent?

This LOINC code identifies a lab observation, measurement, question, or clinical concept in a standardized format.

Is this enough to understand my test result?

No. The code identifies the test or observation, but the interpretation depends on the actual result, reference range, and clinical context.

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: Order
Panel type: Panel
Method: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

Bordetella pertussis and parapertussis and holmesii DNA panel - Specimen by NAA with probe detection

Bordetella pertussis & parapertussis & holmesii DNA panel

This panel contains qualitative results for targeted nucleic acid sequences within Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. holmesii DNA extracted from clinical specimens or culture isolates. This term is based on, but not limited in use to, the submitter's multi-target real-time PCR assay targeting multicopy insertion sequences (IS481, pIS1001, hIS1001) in combination with the pertussis toxin subunit S1 (ptxS1) gene for the identification of B. pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. holmesii. The presence of IS481 and ptxS1 indicates B. pertussis, pIS1001 and ptxS1 indicates B. parapertussis, IS481 and hIS1001 indicates holmesii.[PMID21940464]
