LOINC Code 94333-2: Encephalitozoon sp 18S rRNA gene NAA+non-probe Ql (Specimen)

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 Encephalitozoon sp 18S rRNA gene. It is commonly used with the system or sample type XXX.

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: Non-probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Encephalitozoon sp 18S rRNA gene [Presence] in Specimen by NAA with non-probe detection
• Encephalitozoon sp 18S rRNA gene
• Detection of nucleic acids within the 18S rRNA gene of Encephalitozoon species in various specimens, including fecal and urine, to support the clinical diagnosis of microsporidiosis. This test is commonly performed on immunocompromised patients with persistent, watery diarrhea.
