The '''pathogens''' are a list of possible entries that make up the sub-code for diagnoses categorizes as [[Infections]].
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:
{{subcat collapsible|supercategory = Pathogens}}


== Pathogen Table ==
Pathogens are coded as their own diagnosis codes:
For an up-to-date list of pathogens, see your PDA. This is the list as of May 08 and for orientation only.
{{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Pathogens}}
===Bacteria===
*Acinetobacter --  R
*Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans --  C-B
*Bacteriods fragilis --  R
*Campylobacter --  R
*Citrobacter diversus --  R
*Citrobacter feundii --  R
*Clostridium botulinum +  R
*Clostridium difficle +  R
*Clostridium perfingens +  R
*Clostridium tentani +  R
*Corynebacterium diphtheriae +  R
*E Coli --  R
*Enterobacter --  R
*Enterococcus faecalis +  C
*Haemophlilus  influenzae --  R  C  B
*Haemophilus ducreyi --  R
*Haemophilus  parainfluenzae --  R
*Kebsiella pneumoniae --  R
*Legionella sp – legionella pneumophilia     R
*Listeria monocytogenes +  R
*Moraxella catarrhalis --  R
*Morganella morganii --  R
*Mycoplasma pneumoniae
*Neisseria gonorrhoeae --  C
*Proteus mirabilis --  R
*Pseudomonas aeruginosa --  R
*Salmonella --  R
*Serratia --  R
*Shigella --  R
*Staphylococcus aureus +  C
*Staphylococcus epidermidis +  C
*Streptococcus agalactiae  Group B +  C
*Streptococcus pneumoniae +  C
*Streptococcus pyogenes  Group A +  C
*Streptococcus viridans +  C


===Fungi===
They are always entered as [[Combined ICD10 codes]] with an [[Infections in ICD10|infection]], but not all infections require pathogens. See [[Template:ICD10 Guideline Infection]], [[Infections in ICD10]] for more info.
Aspergillus species
Blastomyces,
Candida,
Crytococcus,
Histoplasma


===Virus===
Information about pathogens can be found in the patient's chart's [[Lab and culture reports]]; see that page for specific use instructions.
Adenoviruses,
Cytomegaloviruses,
Epstein-Barr virus,
Herpes simplex,
Herpes zoster,
West Nile


===Parasites===
== NOS pathogens ==
Cryptosporidium,
*In each of those categories there are a number of specific bugs with their own codes (e.g. B95.3 is Strep pneumoniae)
Giardia Lamblia,
*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:
Malaria,
**[[Bacteria, NOS]]
Pneumocystis carinii (PCP),
**[[Virus, NOS]]
Toxoplasma gondii
**[[Fungus or yeast, NOS]]
**[[Nontuberculous mycobacteria]]
**[[Other type of infectious organism, NOS]]


== Data Integrity Rules==
=== NOS vs Unknown in the context of pathogens  ===
Needs cleanup...
*We must distinguish '''NOS''' from '''unknown'''.
'   infection without pathogen
**''NOS'' means that we do know the bug, but it's not in our list of specific pathogens
    If isInfection And path_s = "" Then
**''[[Infectious organism, unknown]]'' means we assume that there IS in fact a pathogen, but we have no idea about it's actual identity.
        MsgBox ("The Diagnosis '" & Dx_s & "' for patient " & Form_View.Pat_ID & " is an infection, but no pathogen is listed for it. Please enter a pathogen.")
        uncheck Form_View.Diag_Complete
        Form_View.Label_Diagnosis_check.BackColor = abnormal
    End If


'  non-infection with pathogen
=== Special Codes ===
    If (Not isInfection) And path_s > "" Then
* [[Not an Infection (ICD10 pathogen alternative)]] - included for [[cross check]]s when entering [[:Category:Potential infection]]s
        MsgBox ("The Diagnosis '" & Dx_s & "' for patient " & Form_View.Pat_ID & " is not an infection, but the pathogen '" & path_s & "' is listed for it. Please remove the pathogen.")
* [[Infectious organism, unknown]] - eg for negative culture
        Form_View.Label_Diagnosis_check.BackColor = abnormal
        uncheck Form_View.Diag_Complete
    End If

* Sputums for AFB (Acid Fast Bacilli).  As per Dr. Kumar: a negative AFB culture is considered a '''negative culture''' and should '''not''' to be coded as '''NO C&S culture sent'''.--[[User:FLindell|FLindell]] 15:33, 6 August 2008 (CDT)

** Fran, what's an AFB, and how does this entry relate to the pathogens? Can you give a little more detail? Thanks--[[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 16:09, 6 August 2008 (CDT)

***AFB is defined as Acid Fast Bacilli, which is a laboratory test used to identify certain types of bacteria such as mycobacteria that cause TB.  There was a question from data collectors about how to capture this sputum sample.  I guess the fact that the sputum sample is used to categorize the pathogen is why the discussion was placed here.--[[User:JHutton|JHutton]] 12:49, 11 August 2008 (CDT)
