Additional Info
- Does not include

- the nose - code Disorder of nose and/or sinuses, infectious or noninfectious NOS
- Includes
- croup
- tracheitis
- A potential source of confusion is the wastebasket code Disorder of upper respiratory tract, infectious or noninfectious NOS. See that page to understand how it differs.
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
Lower respiratory tract infection codes: |
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
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.
Infection requiring pathogen
This diagnosis is an infection that requires a pathogen to be coded.
