LOINC display name : Leishmania sp DNA NAA probe Nom (BM);
LOINC long common name : Leishmania sp DNA [Identifier] in Bone marrow by NAA with probe detection;
LOINC short name : Leishmania DNA Mar NAA probe;
LOINC description : Molecular techniques are used to detect Leishmania DNA in bone marrow samples in order
to diagnose visceral leishmaniasis and identify the causative species. Although splenic
aspirate testing is more sensitive than bone marrow, the bone marrow aspiration procedure
is much safer than splenic aspiration, which can be associated with life-threatening
hemorrhage in patients with visceral leishmaniasis. [https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/leishmaniasis/health_professionals/index.html];
