Infections in ICD10 are coded somewhat inconsistently. There are #Diagnoses where the pathogen is implied and #Diagnoses where the pathogen must be coded separately. #Coding Antibiotic Resistance should also be done when there is one.
Diagnoses where the pathogen is implied
Some infections are coded as single codes that imply the pathogen:
Diagnoses where the pathogen must be coded separately
Some infections need to be coded as Combined ICD10 codes of the condition and the pathogen. For example, Pneumonia, bacterial and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Potential Infections
They can also be coded with diagnoses that can potentially have a pathogen, but don't require one. These are usually disorders that may or may not be infectious in nature.
Coding Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic resistance is combined-coded, see Antibiotic Resistant Organism for more info.
Lab confirmation of results
Template:CCMDB Data Integrity Checks
Template:ICD10 See
- Check Infection requiring pathogen must have at least one pathogen
- Check Infection with implied pathogen must not have a pathogen
- Check Pathogens must have Infection requiring pathogen or Potential Infection
- do we want to go further, e.g. "viral infections must have virus pathogens"?
- Check Antibiotic resistance must have pathogen or Infection with implied pathogen
- do we want to go further, e.g. "only a fungus can be resistant to antifungal drug"?
Template:Discussion Are those it? Could we think of more? Would we want to? Ttenbergen 16:59, 2017 December 5 (CST)
If we end up with specific pages or sub-headings we should update Template:ICD10 Guideline Infection to link specifically.
