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:

~~== Data Integrity ==~~

Pathogens are coded as their own diagnosis codes:

~~Needs cleanup...~~

~~' infection without pathogen~~

~~If isInfection And path_s~~ = ~~"" Then~~

~~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~~

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.

~~If (Not isInfection) And path_s > "" Then~~

~~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.")~~

~~Form_View.Label_Diagnosis_check.BackColor = abnormal~~

~~uncheck Form_View~~.~~Diag_Complete~~

~~End If~~

~~== do before de-stubbing ==~~

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:

**[[Bacteria, NOS]]

**[[Virus, NOS]]

**[[Fungus or yeast, NOS]]

**[[Nontuberculous mycobacteria]]

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

=== 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 check]]s when entering [[:Category:Potential infection]]s

* [[Infectious organism, unknown]] - eg for negative culture
