* Lisa updated the includes for this to add "necrotizing cavitary pneumonias". So, I added the "Pneumonia" category. I think this is something Julie occasionally reports on, so I want to make sure that coding this pneumonia in a more generic waste basket will not cause problems for her reporting. Emailed Julie and Lisa with link to this.

* Thanks. The investigator who had CAP request included this code too so I have added this code under pneumonia in my filtering. --[[User:JMojica|JMojica]] 10:26, 2021 October 21 (CDT)

Lung abscess is a type of liquefactive necrosis of the lung tissue and formation of cavities (more than 2 cm) containing necrotic debris or fluid caused by microbial infection.

* Lung abscess is a type of liquefactive necrosis of the lung tissue and formation of cavities (more than 2 cm) containing necrotic debris or fluid caused by microbial infection.

* The formation of multiple small (< 2 cm) abscesses is occasionally referred to as Necrotizing pneumonia (NP), and is also known as cavitary pneumonia, cavitary necrosis or lung gangrene. Both lung abscess and necrotizing pneumonia are manifestations of a similar pathologic process.

** To code a necrotizing pneumonia, link this code with the code for the pneumonia:

~~incl gangrene~~ of lung~~, necrotic~~ lung ~~or necrotizing cavitary pneumonias~~

'''Includes:'''

* Gangrene of lung

* Necrotic lung

* Cavitary pneumonia

* Cavitary necrosis

* aspergilloma combine with [[Aspergillus]]

== Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition ==

*[[Mediastinitis/abscess]]

== Candidate [[Combined ICD10 codes]] ==

* combine with the appropriate pneumonia code:
