How do we code '''the flu'''?

* we don't have a code for FLU.

* Influenza ''(also known as the flu)'' is a contagious upper respiratory infection (URTI) caused by flu viruses.

* We code as: [[Tracheobronchitis]] with a '''pathogen subcode''' - '''[[Influenza virus]]'''

**NOTE: Do not code as a [[CAP]] due to an [[Influenza virus]] unless there is supporting evidence such CXR changes AND a positive culture from Cadham Lab. --[[User:CMarks|CMarks]] 11:58, 2015 May 6 (CDT)[[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 14:46, 2015 May 6 (CDT)

~~How do we~~ code the ~~flu?~~

==Note==

A [[Disseminated Infection]] due to a flu virus is extremely rare. If there are '''other organs''' that are suspected to be infected with influenza (ie. viral [[Myocarditis]]., etc) plus you have a positive influenza swab then you can use [[Disseminated Infection]] as the diagnostic code with [[Influenza virus]] as the pathogen. (This directive was given by Dr. Kumar). --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 10:39, 2015 February 4 (CST)[[Con Marks]] as per [[Dr. Allan Garland]]- Task team meeting -- May 6 2014
