LOINC display name : Entamoeba coli DNA NAA probe Ql (Stl);
LOINC long common name : Entamoeba coli DNA [Presence] in Stool by NAA with probe detection;
LOINC short name : Entamoeba coli DNA Stl Ql NAA probe;
LOINC description : Entamoeba coli is one of many non-pathogenic protozoa found in humans. It is transmitted
through fecal-oral contact, and the mature cyst can be found in contaminated water.
Typically, these protozoa inhabit the large intestinal tract and can be identified
in diagnostic stool specimens. This assay is for detection of Entamoeba coli by using
DNA obtained from stool samples by PCR method.;
