Under ICD10 antibiotic resistance will be combined coded with the pathogen or / Infection with implied pathogen.
The following antibiotic resistances are available:
If the pathogen is resistant to antimicrobials, the infection/pathogen combination should be combined with a code for antibiotic resistance -- thus in this situation there may be 3 or more codes all combined together (the infection, the pathogen, the antibiotic resistance(s)).
Cross checks
Template:ICD10
Need to clean out the old info when we move over.
Old dx coding schema
We collect data about ARO – Antibiotic Resistant Organisms as part of our general collection of information about Pathogens.
We also collect MRSA Colonization (without Infection) as a specific diagnosis.
We used to code VRE, ESBL and MRO Colonization
