Additional Info

Excludes: This code should be used when none of the other codes for GI infections are applicable:

	ICD10 Code
Cholera (due to Vibrio cholerae)	A00
Typhoid fever or Paratyphoid fever (due to Salmonella typhi or Salmonella enterica)	A01
Salmonella enteritis	A02.0
Salmonella species	A02.8
Shigellosis (dysentery due to Shigella species)	A03
Clostridium difficile infection (C. diff)	A04.7
Gastrointestinal infection (gastroenteritis, colitis), bacterial, NOS	A04.9
Botulism (due to Clostridium botulinum toxin)	A05.1
Food poisoning (due to foodborne bacterial toxin), NOS	A05.9
Amoebiasis (amoebic dysentery due to Entamoeba histolytica)	A06.0
Entamoeba histolytica (amoebic infection of non-intestinal sites)	A06.8
Gastrointestinal infection (gastroenteritis, colitis), protozoal, NOS	A07
Gastrointestinal infection (gastroenteritis, colitis), viral	A08

• This code should have a pathogen entry too, but because there are already more specific codes for GI infections that are bacterial, viral or protozoal (see list above), with this more general wastebasket code for GI infections, the pathogen should ONLY be either Other type of infectious organism, NOS or Infectious organism, unknown.

Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition

• Food poisoning (due to foodborne bacterial toxin), NOS
• Duodenitis
• Typhoid fever or Paratyphoid fever (due to Salmonella typhi or Salmonella enterica)
• Salmonella enteritis
• Cholera (due to Vibrio cholerae)
• Shigellosis (dysentery due to Shigella species)
• Clostridium difficile infection (C. diff)
• Botulism (due to Clostridium botulinum toxin)
• Listeria
• Amoebiasis (amoebic dysentery due to Entamoeba histolytica)
• Adenovirus

Candidate Combined ICD10 codes

Infections

Infections in ICD10 have combined coding requirements for some of their pathogens. Any that have antibiotic resistances would store those as Combined ICD10 codes as well. If the infection is acquired in the hospital, see Nosocomial infection, NOS. See Lab and culture reports for confirmation and details about tests. See Infections in ICD10 for more general info.

Possible Simultaneous Presence of Multiple Different Types of Infection in a Single Site

• This refers to the situation where there may be simultaneous infection with multiple types of organisms -- e.g. 2 of bacteria, virus, fungus. While a classic example is a proven viral pneumonia (e.g. influenza) with a suspected/possible bacterial pneumonia superimposed, this kind of thing can occur in places other than the lungs, e.g. meningitis.
  • The "signature" of this is typically the patient being treated simultaneously with antimicrobial agents for multiple types of organisms. BUT don't confuse this with there being infections at DIFFERENT body sites.
• As per our usual practice, we will consider a diagnosis as present if the clinical team thinks it's present and are treating it, with the exception that the team initially treated for the possible 2nd type of infection but then decided it likely was NOT present and stopped those agents.
• And remember that Infectious organism, unknown is used when the the specific organism is unknown (this could be not knowing the TYPE of organism, or suspecting the type but not having identified the specific organism of that type), while when the organism has been identified but it's not in our bug list, THEN use Bacteria, NOS, Virus, NOS or Fungus or yeast, NOS.
