Template:ICD10 Need to reconcile this article with ICD10. New category containing ICD10 pathogens is Category:Pathogens. See also Not an Infection (ICD10 pathogen alternative).
Old coding
The pathogens are a list of possible entries that make up the sub-code for diagnoses categorized as Infection.
- Refer to: UPL - Universal Pathogen List, for a list of "bugs" we track.
- The pathogen subcodes are drawn from the table S_Pathogens table in CCMDB.mdb.
The 5 day post discharge RULE for Culture report follow up
Follow up all culture reports up to 5 days after discharge from unit. If pathogen is still not available then, enter Unknown Pathogen.
Special Codes
Could someone please fill in specifics about how or when these are to be used? Specifically, if we know specific bugs, are there any that should be coded implicitly even if there are others (ie precedence rules)?
Coding when antibiotics are given but no cultures
If there is evidence of an ongoing infection, even if no further culture code the previous pathogen.
If no culture is sent then we choose the subcode No Culture Sent or Resulted
