Edit ICD10 dx: Pneumonia, NOS

unstructured part of page:

{{ICD10 transition status | OldDxArticle = VAP - Ventilator Associated Pneumonia; HAP-Hospital Acquired Pneumonia; CAP-Community Acquired Pneumonia | CurrentStatus =reconciled | InitialEditorAssigned = Lori Lovell }} == Additional Info == Pneumonia, NOS should be used when there is a presumed pneumonia but the team is unsure what kind of organism is involved (bacteria, virus, fungus). So simply not having an organism from culture doesn't necessarily mean that Pneumonia, NOS should be used. If, for example, the team is assuming that it's a bacterial pneumonia (and treating it as such), but doesn't know which bacterium, then use Pneumonia, bacterial + Infectious organism, unknown {{ICD10 Guideline Pneumonia}} == Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition == *[[Eosinophilic pulmonary disease (pulmonary eosinophilia), NOS]] {{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Pneumonia}} == Candidate [[Combined ICD10 codes]] == *Add [[Iatrogenic, complication of medical or surgical care NOS]] to make viral hospital-acquired pneumonia {{ICD10 Guideline Infection}} == Related CCI Codes == {{Data Integrity Check List}} == Related Articles == {{Related Articles}} {{ICD10 footer}} {{EndPlaceHolder}}
