== Additional Info ==

* This code is ~~used~~ if a person was observed for a suspected infection ~~(other than~~ [[Observation for SUSPECTED tuberculosis]]~~) but did NOT end up having an~~ infection.

This code is [[Combined ICD10 codes|combined]] with a pathogen if a person was observed for a suspected infection but did NOT end up having an infection.

* ~~For example~~, it ~~is used~~ for ~~suspected [[~~COVID~~-19 (SARS-COV-2)]]~~

'''Excludes:'''

* [[Observation for SUSPECTED tuberculosis]]

=== Suspected infections being confirmed POSITIVE or NEGATIVE ===

* If a suspected infection becomes confirmed, remove this code and replace it with the relevant infection code

* If a suspected infection test comes back negative, delete the code '''unless that code was the only reason for admission, in which case leave it in'''

* ALSO, do NOT use this combination of codes for each COVID swab sent, as this represents a diagnosis, not a procedure.

==== Legacy info ====

Until 2021-02-22 the instruction was to keep the Observation entry rather than change it to the actual manifestation, so older data would list this different from newer instructions.
