LOINC Code 94420-7: Lactobacillus crispatus+gasseri+jensenii + Gardnerella vaginalis + Atopobium vaginae rRNA 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+gasseri+jensenii+Gardnerella vaginalis+Atopobium vaginae rRNA. 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+gasseri+jensenii + Gardnerella vaginalis + Atopobium vaginae rRNA [Presence] in Vaginal fluid by NAA with probe detection
• Lactobacillus crispatus+gasseri+jensenii+Gardnerella vaginalis+Atopobium vaginae rRNA
• Qualitative result for bacterial vaginosis (BV) based on the detection and quantitation of ribosomal RNA from bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV), including Lactobacillus (L. gasseri, L. crispatus, and L. jensenii), Gardnerella vaginalis, and Atopobium vaginae. This term is used to report a qualitative result for BV and does not report results for individual organisms. It is intended to aid in the diagnosis of BV. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Hologic Aptima BV assay, which detects the bacteria associated with BV on vaginal swab specimens from females with a clinical presentation consistent with vaginitis and/or vaginosis.
