Additional Info
- This code does double duty as: (a) an infectious disease NOS, or (b) as pathogen NOS as part of the buglist.
- When using this code as pathogen NOS it represents that the pathogen HAS been isolated and identified, but that specific bug is not in our buglist.
- If instead of that, the bug is unknown (don't even know whether it's a bacteria, virus, etc), then use code Infectious organism, unknown
Template:Discussion is it category "Infection with implied pathogen" or "Infection requiring pathogen" or maybe "potential infection"? Fix above, and also the required bug and number... The problem is we are using this as both, a pathogen, and an infectious disease. We will use those categories as cross checks at some point, so need to get this right.
