Pathogen coding pre-ICD10.

The pathogens are a list of possible entries that make up the sub-code for diagnoses categorized as Infection.

Culture reports (old)

Follow up all culture reports up to 5 days after discharge from unit. If pathogen is still not available then, enter Unknown Pathogen.

Special Codes

Could someone please fill in specifics about how or when these are to be used? Specifically, if we know specific bugs, are there any that should be coded implicitly even if there are others (ie precedence rules)?

Coding when antibiotics are given but no cultures

If there is evidence of an ongoing infection, even if no further culture code the previous pathogen.

If no culture is sent then we choose the subcode No Culture Sent or Resulted
