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
- Note - If patient has septic shock or severe sepsis code results of blood culture sent if one has been sent. Code tracheobronchitis if nasal swab is positive for influenza. Code CAP if CXR is positive for same. per Task Team meeting March 21, 2016--CMarks 16:02, 2016 March 21 (CDT)
For stomach flu go to: Gastroenteritis
As per July 11, 2013 Task meeting: this code does not distinguish whether infection is nosocomial or not.
