''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?--[[User:LKolesar|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.
