LOINC display name : C. auris ITS2 gene NAA probe Ql (Specimen);
LOINC long common name : Candida auris ITS2 gene [Presence] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection;
LOINC short name : C auris ITS2 Spec Ql NAA probe;
LOINC description : Qualitative results for the detection of internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region
of the ribosomal gene in Candida auris DNA from clinical specimens, including swabs
from nasal, axilla, and groin as well as from various surfaces in clinical settings.
The test is used for rapid screening of C. auris in order to control and prevent its
spread in the healthcare facilities. This term was created for, but not limited in
use to, the New York Public Health lab's real-time PCR assay, which detects C. auris
and related species: Candida duobushaemulonii, Candida haemulonii, and Candida lusitaniae.;
