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.

Different infection types related to Combined ICD10 codes

Diagnoses where the pathogen is implied

Some infections are coded as single codes that imply the pathogen:

Infection with implied pathogen codes:

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.

Infection requiring pathogen codes:

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.

Potential infection codes:

Which date to use for infections in Acquired Diagnosis / Complication

Template:DiscussAllan

tangential questions

untreatd positive urine cultures

might be better off in Urine tests, NOS, abnormal or Colonized with organism (not infected) depending how it should be coded. Template:DiscussAllan

time restrictions around calling things iatrogenic

Template:DiscussAllan

Coding Antibiotic Resistance

Antibiotic resistance is combined-coded, see Antibiotic Resistant Organism for more info.

Lab confirmation of results

See Pathogens#Culture reports

Template:CCMDB Data Integrity Checks

Template:ICD10 See

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.
