== Influenza virus in non-flu diagnoses ==
This article refers to a '''group''' of influenza pathogens
Usually what is a flu dx coded as? {{discussion}}
* See: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza#Types_of_virus Wikipedia for types of virus included]
*When a patient has pneumonia with the infulenza virus but '''also has a positive bacterial culture''', you can code pneumonia twice using the pathogen of influenza virus for one entry and the bacterial pathogen for the other. 
*If a patient '''has a positive swab for influenza but does not have pneumonia''' (clear CXR), you can use [[Tracheobronchitis]] as the diagnosis with influenza virus as the subcode pathogen. (This directive was given by Dr. Kumar). 
*If there are '''other organs''' that are suspected to be infected with influenza (ie. viral myocarditis, with a positive influenza swab) then you can use [[Disseminated Infection]] as the diagnostic code with influenza virus as the pathogen.  (This directive was given by Dr. Kumar). --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 10:39, 2015 February 4 (CST)
