| * Just wondering since cellulitis/abscesses are typically bacterial infections, should [[Disorder of oral mucosa (mouth, lips, tongue), NOS]] be used instead combined with [[Infectious disease NOS]] and [[Herpes Simplex virus (HSV)]]? This then would be consistent with other infection coding guidelines whereby there is no specific infection code. Thank you. (Pam) (as contrasted with [[Infection of skin or subcutaneous (soft) tissue, NOS]] instructions.

| ** Why would you want to use the less specific "Disporder of..." code when we have a this specific "...cellulitis..." code? Which infection coding guideline do you mean, could you link? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 11:19, 2022 October 19 (CDT)

| ***Is a viral cellulitis accurate? A fungal esophageal infection would be coded as a NOS, combined with infectious disease NOS, and candida. Should this go to task for discussion by the group for clarification? (Pam)
| |
| * I think this is the correct code to be using for HSV lesions as it is an infection code, while it may not be completely accurate it would be our best option. We would use the option Pam describes if we didn't have an infection code for the oral cavity. [[User:Lkaita|Lisa Kaita]] 11:02, 2022 October 20 (CDT)

| ** In that case we should confirm if the same reasoning would apply to Pam's fungal example. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 17:16, 2022 November 3 (CDT)
