Influenza ''(also known as the flu)'' is a contagious upper respiratory infection (URTI) caused by flu viruses.

= Pre ICD10 instructions =
== Coding Instructions ==
* we don't have a code for "flu".
* code as: [[Tracheobronchitis]] with '''pathogen subcode''' - '''[[Influenza virus]]'''
**must be have '''positive culture''' '''nasal swab culture.'''  If negative nasal swab, then must be confirmed with Cadham lab result before coded as influenza related. 
 
=== CAP? ===
Do not code as a [[CAP]] due to an [[Influenza virus]] unless there is supporting evidence such CXR changes AND a '''positive culture''' from Cadham Lab.
 
=== Disseminated Infection ===
A [[Disseminated Infection]] due to a flu virus is '''extremely rare'''. If there are '''other organs''' that are suspected to be infected with influenza (ie. viral [[Myocarditis]]., etc) plus you have 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).
 
=== Septic Shock ===
If patient has [[Septic Shock]] or [[Severe Sepsis]] code results of '''blood culture''' sent if one has been sent.
*Code tracheobronchitis if '''nasal swab is positive for [[Influenza in ICD10 | Influenza virus]].'''  If negative nasal swab, then must be confirmed with Cadham lab result before coded as influenza related.
 
== Background Info ==
* [http://www.clevelandclinicmeded.com/medicalpubs/diseasemanagement/infectious-disease/upper-respiratory-tract-infection/ www.tracheobronchitis]
* our code does not distinguish whether infection is nosocomial or not
 
== Legacy information ==
