 * If you use this code, you should '''not''' also code '''[[Past history, transplanted kidney]]''', because that is implicit in this code.

+*We are NOT coding anything having to do with the [[Cytomegalovirus (CMV)]] or [[Infectious mononucleosis (usually due to Epstein-Barr virus) | EBV]] status of the donor.
+*Accordingly, do not code a transplant recipient as infected or colonized with such organisms, but of course DO code them as infected with them IF THEY BECOME INFECTED WITH THEM -- which is not indicated just by the recipient being prophylactically treated for them after the transplant.
+*As per [[Colonized with organism (not infected)]], we are not tracking colonization with either of these viruses.

 * Is "don't code history of transplant when coding transplant rejection because it's implied" something you are aware of? It's not something I would have thought of if you had asked me to write a query that lists all records with previous transplants. If we want to change this could you bring it to task meeting?
