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.

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 Filaria DNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Tiss.

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

Filaria DNA [Presence] in Tissue by NAA with probe detection

Filaria DNA

The Clinical Parasitology Unit at NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has been using molecular techniques in conjunction with conventional techniques to diagnose filariasis in blood and skin samples from immigrants, expatriates, and immigrants since 1999. Molecular assays have been found to be at least as sensitive as conventional techniques. In addition, less specimen is required, and laboratory personnel do not need specialized training in parasitology laboratory techniques. [PMID20980560]
