74475-5
LaboratoryMiddle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) RNA [Interpretation] in Specimen Qualitative by NAA with probe detection
Definition
Overall interpretation of presence of MERs-CoV RNA based on the findings from gene-specific PCR assays. The submitter's assays target RNA from the N2 [LOINC: 74473-0], N3 [LOINC: 74472-2], and upE [LOINC: 74474-8] genes in respiratory specimens (nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal swabs, sputum, lower respiratory aspirates/washes), serum, and stool. This code was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's primer and probe set, NCV-2012 rRT-PCR (CDC; Catalog #KT0136),
