81649-6
LaboratoryCryptococcus sp rRNA gene [Presence] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection
Definition
This term is used to report the presence or absence of Cryptococcus species DNA that encodes ribosomal RNA by PCR. The assay can detect but not differentiate between cryptococcal species including Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. Specimens may include CSF, blood, various body fluids, and bronchial aspirate samples.
