The ICD10 Diagnosis List contains specific codes for a number of different bacteria, viruses, fungi/yeast, mycobacteria and miscellaneous types of organisms. The entire list can be found in category and subcategories:
Pathogens are coded as their own diagnosis codes:
They are always entered as Combined ICD10 codes with an infection, but not all infections require pathogens. See Template:ICD10 Guideline Infection, Infections in ICD10 for more info.
Information about pathogens can be found in the patient's chart's Lab and culture reports; see that page for specific use instructions.
NOS pathogens
- In each of those categories there are a number of specific bugs with their own codes (e.g. B95.3 is Strep pneumoniae)
- But obviously we can't list every bug of any type, so for each of those categories there is also a "wastebasket" code for "NOS". For example, if the bug is a specific bacteria but it's not in our list, then use Bacteria, NOS, etc. These are:
NOS vs Unknown in the context of pathogens
- We must distinguish NOS from unknown.
- NOS means that we do know the bug, but it's not in our list of specific pathogens
- Infectious organism, unknown means we assume that there IS in fact a pathogen, but we have no idea about it's actual identity.
Special Codes
- Not an Infection (ICD10 pathogen alternative) - included for cross checks when entering Category:Potential infections
- Infectious organism, unknown - eg for negative culture
Data Integrity Checks (automatic list)
| App | Status | |
|---|---|---|
| Query check ICD10 Inf Potential Infection must have pathogen or alt | CCMDB.accdb | declined |
| Check Inf Antibiotic resistance must have pathogen or Infection with implied pathogen | CCMDB.accdb | implemented |
| Check Inf Infection with implied pathogen must not have a pathogen combined code | CCMDB.accdb | implemented |
| Query check ICD10 Inf Infection req Pathogen must have one | CCMDB.accdb | implemented |
| Query Check Inf Pathogens must have Infection requiring pathogen or Potential Infection | CCMDB.accdb | implemented |
