== 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?--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 14:23, 2015 September 23 (CDT)
