Additional Info
- This is a wastebasket code to be used for a specific infectious disease for which there is no specific ICD10 code.
- This code does double duty as: (a) an infectious disease NOS, or (b) as pathogen NOS as part of the buglist.
- When using this code as pathogen NOS it represents that the pathogen HAS been isolated and identified, but that specific bug is not in our buglist.
- If instead of that, the bug is unknown (don't even know whether it's a bacteria, virus, etc), then use code Infectious organism, unknown
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- Other type of infectious organism, NOS
- Bacteria, NOS
- Virus, NOS
- Fungus or yeast, NOS
- Infectious organism, unknown
