 == Additional Info ==
-If you code [[Meningitis, viral - incl West Nile]] for West Nile you still need to also code [[West Nile virus]] even though it seems implied, since this dx only ''includes'' West Nile (it also includes others).
+*Use this code for all viruses causing meningitis, i.e. "West Nile" is included in the name of this code just to make clear that this is also the code to use for West Nile meningitis.
+**Thus, to code West Nile meningitis combine this code with the organism code [[West Nile virus]]
 == Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition ==
