The '''pathogens''' are a list of possible entries that make up the sub-code for diagnoses categorized 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:
Pathogens are drawn from the '''[[S_Pathogens]]''' table on your PDA and in the [[CCMDB.mdb]].

*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),

**[[Nontuberculous mycobacteria]]
**[[Other type of infectious organism, NOS]]

The [[CCMDB.mdb]] runs checks for the following:
*We must distinguish '''NOS''' from '''unknown'''.
*'''no infections without pathogens'''  
**''NOS'' means that we do know the bug, but it's not in our list of specific pathogens
*'''no non-infections with pathogens'''  
**''[[Infectious organism, unknown]]'' means we assume that there IS in fact a pathogen, but we have no idea about it's actual identity.
For details, see the coding in Access.

***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)
 
****The pathogen list can only encode pathogens that were found, not negative findings, right? If that is the case, and if no other pathogen is found, would you not code this as a 68 - Unknown pathogen? Trish? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 13:33, 12 August 2008 (CDT)

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:

Pathogens 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

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.
