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 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. | |||
