*This is the "[[Pathogens|pathogen]] code" to use when there is a presumed infection and the organism is unknown. This occurs for '''any''' of the following possible reasons:

~~When a code in [[:category:potential infection]]~~ is ~~not an infection, code~~ [[~~Not an Infection (ICD10~~ pathogen ~~alternative)~~]] ~~with it instead of this code to satisfy cross-checks.~~

** '''No cultures were sent''' or resulted

** Cultures were sent but they were negative ('''negative cultures''') or the lab reports "normal flora" or "mixed normal flora"

*This is the "bug code" to use when there is a presumed infection and the organism is unknown.

** As the bug for any of the sepsis codes, in the presence of MORE THAN ONE specific infection (e.g. pneumonia ''and'' UTI) having DIFFERENT bugs.

*This occurs for ~~EITHER~~ of the following ~~TWO~~ possible reasons:

*When the [[Pathogens|pathogen]] was isolated and therefore is known, but it is not in our list of specific [[Pathogens|pathogen]]s, then use one or another of the following:

** ~~(i)~~ '''No cultures were sent''' or resulted

** Bacteria, NOS

** ~~(ii)~~ Cultures were sent but they were negative ('''negative cultures''')

** Virus, NOS

*When the ~~bug~~ was isolated and therefore is known, but it is not in our list of specific ~~bugs~~, then use one or another of ~~these~~:

** Fungus or yeast, NOS

**[[Bacteria, NOS]]

When a code in [[:category:potential infection]] is not an infection, code [[Not an Infection (ICD10 pathogen alternative)]] with it instead of this code to satisfy cross-checks.

**[[Virus, NOS]]

**[[Fungus or yeast, NOS]]
