69939-7
LaboratoryTrichophyton rubrum DNA [Presence] in Nail by NAA with probe detection
Definition
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.
