Additional Info
- This code indicates only what it says, colonized BUT NOT INFECTED, with an organism.
- Example: it would be appropriate to use this if, for some reason, it was desired to code that the patient is known to have nasal carriage (colonization) with MRSA.
Also we will need to decide whether this should be in the category infections after all. Cross checks may depend on this. Also infection template may need to be added. Ttenbergen 22:35, 2017 December 3 (CST)
