LOINC display name : E. coli K1 DNA NAA non-probe Ql (CSF);
LOINC long common name : Escherichia coli K1 DNA [Presence] in Cerebral spinal fluid by NAA with non-probe
detection;
LOINC short name : E coli K1 DNA CSF Ql NAA non-probe;
LOINC description : This assay detects the presence of nucleic acid sequences from the Escherichia coli
K1 DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using PCR and non-probe based detection methods,
such as melt curve analysis. This term was created for, but is not limited in use
to, BioFire's FilmArray Meningitis/Encephalitis Panel, which is intended for the detection
and identification of nucleic acids from multiple bacteria, viruses, and yeast directly
from CSF obtained via lumbar puncture from individuals with signs and/or symptoms
of meningitis and/or encephalitis.;
