+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.
+'''Excludes:'''
+* [[Observation for SUSPECTED tuberculosis]]
+{{ICD10 Guideline COVID linker}}
+=== 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 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.

+==== 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.
