Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. TB): Difference between revisions

Line 23:

*'''Includes''': tuberculous involvement of the GI tract, renal tuberculosis

**TB can infect literally every organ, but we only have specific codes for infection of the respiratory ([[Tuberculosis of the respiratory system, confirmed]]) and nervous([[Tuberculosis of the nervous system]]) systems and [[Bone, tuberculosis (tuberculous osteomyelitis)|Bone, tuberculosis]] and [[Spine, tuberculosis (Pott's disease)|Spine, tuberculosis]] and [[Arthritis, due to tuberculosis]]

:{{#ask: [[Category:Infectious disease|+depth=0]][[Category:Tuberculosis|+depth=0]]

|format=UL

}}

* I tried to make the above list via query so it would remain updated if we add codes; it doesn't include [[Spine, tuberculosis (Pott's disease)]] because that is not in the an infectious disease category. Should it be? This also affects how we treat this as data. If it's an infection it would likely also need to be an [[Infection with implied pathogen]].

**For TB of any other organ, you use this code along with an "NOS" code for the organ in question.
