Question: From: Trish Ostryzniuk Subject: RE: code specific pathogen for an infection or if ESBL then code that?
Example: UTI due to E.Coli which is also ESBL on C&S. No past medical history of ESBL.
What would be the priority to code this type of case:
a. UTI due to E.Coli or
b. UTI due to ESBL
Currently we cannot code both UTI due to E.Coli PLUS UTI due to ESBL .
