***Is a viral cellulitis accurate? A fungal esophageal infection would be coded as a NOS, combined with infectious disease NOS, and candida. Should this go to task for discussion by the group for clarification? (Pam)

  • Just wondering since cellulitis/abscesses are typically bacterial infections, should Disorder of oral mucosa (mouth, lips, tongue), NOS be used instead combined with Infectious disease NOS and Herpes Simplex virus (HSV)? This then would be consistent with other infection coding guidelines whereby there is no specific infection code. Thank you.

      • Is a viral cellulitis accurate? A fungal esophageal infection would be coded as a NOS, combined with infectious disease NOS, and candida. Should this go to task for discussion by the group for clarification? (Pam)
  • I think this is the correct code to be using for HSV lesions as it is an infection code, while it may not be completely accurate it would be our best option. We would use the option Pam describes if we didn't have an infection code for the oral cavity. Lisa Kaita 11:02, 2022 October 20 (CDT)
    • In that case we should confirm if the same reasoning would apply to Pam's fungal example. Ttenbergen 17:16, 2022 November 3 (CDT)
