LOINC Code 88913-9: S. stercoralis DNA NAA+probe Ql (Stl)

88913-9 is a LOINC code used to identify S. stercoralis DNA NAA+probe Ql (Stl) in laboratory and clinical observation data. You may see this code in lab systems, lab reports, EHR exports, interoperability feeds, or other structured clinical data exchanges. LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Strongyloides stercoralis DNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Stool.

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 Strongyloides stercoralis DNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Stool.

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

Strongyloides stercoralis DNA [Presence] in Stool by NAA with probe detection
Strongyloides stercoralis DNA
Strongyloidiasis stercoralis is a parasite that causes chronic infection. It is most common in tropical and subtropical climates, and transmission occurs via direct contact with contaminated soil. Patients who are immunocompromised can develop life-threatening disease. Molecular techniques for detecting S. stercoralis DNA in stool are more efficient than traditional diagnostic methods such as culture.
