== Additional Info ==
* This code is used if a person was observed for a suspected infection (other than [[Observation for SUSPECTED tuberculosis]]) but did NOT end up having an infection.
This code is [[Combined ICD10 codes|combined]] with a pathogen if a person was observed for a suspected infection but did NOT end up having an infection.
* For example, it is used for suspected [[COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2)]]


'''Excludes:'''
* [[Observation for SUSPECTED tuberculosis]]

=== Suspected infections being confirmed POSITIVE or NEGATIVE ===
=== Suspected infections being confirmed POSITIVE or NEGATIVE ===
* If a suspected infection becomes confirmed, remove this code and replace it with the relevant infection code
* If a suspected infection becomes confirmed, remove this code and replace it with the relevant infection code
* If a suspected infection test comes back negative, delete the code '''unless that code was the only reason for admission, in which case leave it in'''
* If a suspected infection test comes back negative, delete the code '''unless that code was the only reason for admission, in which case leave it in'''
 
* ALSO, do NOT use this combination of codes for each COVID swab sent, as this represents a diagnosis, not a procedure.
===Exception to the Rule for COVID-19===
 
# If patient is a COVID suspect- combine [[COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2)]] with [[Observation for suspected infection NOS]] linked with the same number (don’t link it with any other infection code if not confirmed) Leave the code in, even if they later come up as a negative

==== Legacy info ====
Until 2021-02-22 the instruction was to keep the Observation entry rather than change it to the actual manifestation, so older data would list this different from newer instructions.
