Additional Info

  • As of 2019, the way that the microbiology laboratory indicates in its reports that an organism is resistant to the antistaphlococcal penicillins (of which the architype is methicillin, hence the phrase "Methicillin-resistant staph aureus") is to specifically identify that it is resistant to oxacillin, with a comment that "MRSA has been isolated". It will NOT list any other of this class of drugs.


This is not a standard ICD10 code but a ICD10 CA code. We added it for the following reason:
Antimicrobial resistance is not coded in standard ICD10.

See Non-standard ICD10 Diagnoses for other codes like this.

List of Antimicrobials Relevant Here

Methicillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, cloxacillin, dicloxacillin, flucloxacillin [1]

Colonization

You can use the "set MRSA Colonized" button to enter the following:

Infection

Combined code the following

  • the appropriate code from one of the following
Infection requiring pathogen codes:
Potential infection codes:

Colonized vs local infection

  • If MRSA drawn from an abscess or deep in wound and you think it is causing the "local" infection, else code colonization.

Data Use

Julie reported in 2013 that in the past 2 years there were 2 requests for data related to these variables.


Infections

Infections in ICD10 have combined coding requirements for some of their pathogens. Any that have antibiotic resistances would store those as Combined ICD10 codes as well. If the infection is acquired in the hospital, see Nosocomial infection, NOS. See Lab and culture reports for confirmation and details about tests. See Infections in ICD10 for more general info.

Possible Simultaneous Presence of Multiple Different Types of Infection in a Single Site

  • This refers to the situation where there may be simultaneous infection with multiple types of organisms -- e.g. 2 of bacteria, virus, fungus. While a classic example is a proven viral pneumonia (e.g. influenza) with a suspected/possible bacterial pneumonia superimposed, this kind of thing can occur in places other than the lungs, e.g. meningitis.
    • The "signature" of this is typically the patient being treated simultaneously with antimicrobial agents for multiple types of organisms. BUT don't confuse this with there being infections at DIFFERENT body sites.
  • As per our usual practice, we will consider a diagnosis as present if the clinical team thinks it's present and are treating it, with the exception that the team initially treated for the possible 2nd type of infection but then decided it likely was NOT present and stopped those agents.
  • And remember that Infectious organism, unknown is used when the the specific organism is unknown (this could be not knowing the TYPE of organism, or suspecting the type but not having identified the specific organism of that type), while when the organism has been identified but it's not in our bug list, THEN use Bacteria, NOS, Virus, NOS or Fungus or yeast, NOS.

Antibiotic resistance

Antibiotic resistance is coded as Combined ICD10 codes of the condition/pathogen and the resistance. See Antibiotic Resistant Organism for more info.
