Infections in ICD10: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

~~===~~ Infections ~~===~~

Infections in ICD10 are coded somewhat inconsistently. There are [[#Diagnoses where the pathogen is implied]] and [[[#Diagnoses where the pathogen must be coded separately]]. [[#Coding Antibiotic Resistance]] should also be done when there is one.

==~~== Diagnosis codes that imply~~ the pathogen ====

* There are ~~some~~ single ~~infection~~ codes that ~~incorporate~~ the ~~organism in the name, e.g~~: ~~'''[[Salmonella enteritis]]'''~~

== Diagnoses where the pathogen is implied ==

===~~= Infections~~ where pathogen is coded separately ====

[[:category:Infection with implied pathogen|Some infections]] are coded as single codes that imply the pathogen:

*But for most infections, ~~they don't, e.g: '''~~[[Pneumonia, bacterial]]~~'''~~

{{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Infection with implied pathogen}}

**In these cases it is '''''required''''' to combine with the infection code the code for the organism from the "buglist": {{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Pathogens}}

*The buglist contains specific codes for a number of different bacteria, viruses, fungi/yeast, mycobacteria and miscellaneous types of organisms.

== Diagnoses where the pathogen must be coded separately ==

**If you don't see the specific organism in your case, then there are wastebasket codes:

[[:category:Infection requiring pathogen|Some infections]] need to be coded as [[Combined ICD10 codes]] of the condition and the pathogen. For example, [[Pneumonia, bacterial]] and [[Streptococcus pneumoniae]].

***[[Bacteria, ~~NOS]]~~

{{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Infection requiring pathogen}}

~~***~~[[~~Virus, NOS~~]]

***[[Fungus or yeast, NOS]]

***[[Nontuberculous mycobacteria]]

== Coding Antibiotic Resistance ==

~~***~~ [[~~Infectious disease NOS OR for buglist organism NOS~~]] ~~(when you don't have any idea even what type of bug it is).~~

Antibiotic resistance is combined-coded, see [[Antibiotic Resistant Organism]] for more info.

== Lab confirmation of results ==

See [[Pathogens#Culture reports]]

~~==== Lab confirmation of results ====~~

~~Waiting for lab microbiology results:(5 days usual for blood cultures, 2 week for Cadham)~~
