== Additional Info ==

* 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 or lung gangrene. Both lung abscess and necrotizing pneumonia are manifestations of a similar pathologic process.

* 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:

Includes:

'''Includes:'''

*~~gangrene~~ of lung

* Gangrene of lung

*~~necrotic~~ lung

* Necrotic lung

* Cavitary pneumonia

~~=== data use discussion ==~~

* Cavitary necrosis

~~{{DJ|~~

* aspergilloma combine with [[Aspergillus]]

~~{{ICD10 category|Pneumonia}}~~

* 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)

*** Do you not use the [[s_ICD10_Categories table]] for this kind of filtering? I thought we implemented that so we can be consistent with ~~these things over time. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 10:59, 2021 October 21 (CDT)~~

****I usually provide the link of the ICD10 and/or send part of the s_ICD10, indicate my preliminary choices and ask them for comment if need to add or delete. that is safer in my end not to miss anything. --[[~~User:JMojica|JMojica~~]] ~~17:18, 2022 February 4 (CST) }}~~
