LOINC Code 92702-0: Bacterial vaginosis bacterial DNA NAA+probe Ql (Vag fld)

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 Lactobacillus crispatus+jensenii+Gardnerella vaginalis+Atopobium vaginae+Bacterial Vaginosis Associated Bacteria-2+Megasphaera sp type 1 DNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Vag.

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

• Lactobacillus crispatus+jensenii + Gardnerella vaginalis + Atopobium vaginae + Bacterial Vaginosis Associated Bacteria-2 + Megasphaera sp type 1 DNA [Presence] in Vaginal fluid by NAA with probe detection
• Lactobacillus crispatus+jensenii+Gardnerella vaginalis+Atopobium vaginae+Bacterial Vaginosis Associated Bacteria-2+Megasphaera sp type 1 DNA
• This term is used for assays that detect the presence of bacterial vaginosis by comparing the concentrations of Lactobacillus species and the other organisms detected by the assay. A lower relative concentration of Lactobacillus species is indicative of bacterial vaginosis.
