LOINC Code 91078-6: ZIKV RNA NAA+probe Ql (Bld)

91078-6 is a LOINC code used to identify ZIKV RNA NAA+probe Ql (Bld) 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 Zika virus RNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Bld.

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 Zika virus RNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Bld.

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

Zika virus RNA [Presence] in Blood by NAA with probe detection
Zika virus RNA
Zika virus RNA may be detected in whole blood specimens for a longer time period after symptom onset compared to serum or plasma, and the detection rate for whole blood is similar to that in urine specimens 10 or more days after symptom onset. In contrast, the virus is detectable earlier in serum or plasma specimens compared to whole blood. A longer period of detection in whole blood has also been reported for other Flaviviruses including West Nile virus and Dengue virus. [PMID28648495]
