LOINC long common name : Candida spp. 1 DNA [Cycle Threshold #] in Positive blood culture by NAA with probe
detection;
LOINC short name : Cand spp. 1 Ct Bld Qn NAA prb;
LOINC description : This term represents a test for detecting and quantifying the DNA of multiple Candida
species (Candida albicans, tropicalis, dubliniensis, famata, guilliermondii, and kefyr)
using probe amplification. The results are reported as a threshold number, indicating
the presence and quantity of the Candida DNA in the sample. This method is particularly
useful for diagnosing infections caused by these Candida species in immunocompromised
patients and hospital settings, as referenced in [PMID: 25183855].;
