Meningoencephalitis is always viral or other atypical pathogen..but it is NOT bacterial or fungal.
This DX is not the same as Meningitis
bacterial encephalitis - not applicable
In ICD10 it will be possible to code the following as Encephalitis, meningoencephalitis, myelitis, encephalomyelitis, bacterial, so this info does not need to be copied to the ICd10 page.
- in researching encephalitis, it does appear that bacterial meningitis like pneumococcal meningitis can lead to encephalitis (although it is very rare). Our codes presently do not allow a bacterial pathogen for meningoencephalitis and we do not have a code for only encephalitis. I put two websites above if anyone is interested. Should we allow a pathogen option for meningoencephalitis in light of this?--LKolesar 14:23, 2015 September 23 (CDT)
- encephalitis is a DX code with the proper term being meningoencephalitis. But it is not meningitis.
- Encephalitis/meningoencephalitis is always viral or other atypical pathogen..but it is NOT bacterial or fungal. So the pathogens we have listed are adequate.
- Meningitis however, can be bacterial, fungal or occasionally viral.
- gram pos/neg does NOT apply to meningoenchphalitis. If you think that this is the organism causing the problem, then the underlying condition is probably Meningitis, not encephalitis. (ie: the “meningo” part of “meningoencephalitis” is confusing). Meningoencephalitis is not the same as “Meningitis”…that is a separate diagnosis.--Dr. Anand Kumar, 1330, 2016, February 29.
