LOINC display name : T. rubrum DNA NAA probe Ql (Nail);
LOINC long common name : Trichophyton rubrum DNA [Presence] in Nail by NAA with probe detection;
LOINC short name : T rubrum DNA Nail Ql NAA probe;
LOINC description : This term was created for, but not limited to, Staten's Serum Institute Dermatophyte-Trichophyton
rubrum test kit, which is is an in vitro diagnostic detection of dermatophytes in
general (pan-dermatophytes) (see LOINC 70027-8) as well as Trichophyton rubrum. The
primer pairs are directed towards genes encoding chitin synthase 1 (chs1, 366bp amplicaon
size) for detection of dermatophytes and ITS2 (internal transcribed spacer, 203bp
amplicon size) for detection of T. rubrum.;
