How do we code the flu?
- we don't have a code for FLU.
- Influenza (also known as the flu) is a contagious upper respiratory infection (URTI) caused by flu viruses.
- We code as: Tracheobronchitis with a pathogen subcode - Influenza virus
- NOTE: Do not code as a CAP due to an Influenza virus unless there is supporting evidence such CXR changes AND a positive culture from Cadham Lab. --CMarks 11:58, 2015 May 6 (CDT)Trish Ostryzniuk 14:46, 2015 May 6 (CDT)
Note
A Disseminated Infection due to a flu virus is extremely rare. If there are other organs that are suspected to be infected with influenza (ie. viral Myocarditis., etc) plus you have a positive influenza swab then you can use Disseminated Infection as the diagnostic code with Influenza virus as the pathogen. (This directive was given by Dr. Kumar). --LKolesar 10:39, 2015 February 4 (CST)Con Marks as per Dr. Allan Garland- Task team meeting -- May 6 2014
For stomach flu go to: Gastroenteritis
As per July 11, 2013 Task meeting: this code does not distinguish whether infection is nosocomial or not.
