Infections in ICD10: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

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 ===~~

~~[[:category:Infection with implied pathogen|Some infections]] are coded as single codes that imply the pathogen:~~

~~{{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Infection with implied pathogen}}~~

~~=== Diagnoses where the pathogen must be coded separately ===~~

[[:category:Infection requiring pathogen|Some infections]] need to be coded as [[Combined ICD10 codes]] of the condition and the pathogen. For example, [[Pneumonia, bacterial]] and [[Streptococcus pneumoniae]].

~~{{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Infection requiring pathogen}}~~

~~=== 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.~~

~~{{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Potential infection}}~~
