LOINC Code 94053-6: Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex resistance panel Molgen (Islt/Spec)

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 Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex resistance panel. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Isolate/Specimen.

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: Molgen

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex resistance panel by Molecular genetics method
• Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex resistance panel
• This panel contains results for the detection of mutations in the various MTB complex genes that indicate resistance to first- and second-line anti-tuberculous medications, including isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, the fluoroquinolones (moxifloxacin and ofloxacin) and the aminoglycosides (streptomycin, kanamycin, and amikacin). The predicted susceptibility (resistant, susceptible) to various medications based on the variants identified may also be reported.
