Why are we limited to Leprosy for disseminated infections?

* My point remains Leprosy is exclusive to all the potential other disseminated infections-why add the new corresponding code definer as Leprosy-why not allow for other choices when required ?--[[User:Llemoine|Llemoine]] 07:56, 2018 August 23 (CDT)

** Maybe [[Infectious disease NOS]]? For fungemia use [[Fungemia, NOS]], [[Protozoa, NOS]], [[Bacterial infection, NOS]] and all the other NOSs in [[:Category:Infectious disease]]. Does that answer it? Ttenbergen 17:04, 2018 August 23 (CDT)
