| ICD10 Diagnosis | |
| Dx: | Upper respiratory infection, acute NOS |
| ICD10 code: | J06 |
| Pre-ICD10 counterpart: | ENT infection - WITHOUT airway obstruction ( Laryngitis, Mono, Peritonsillar abscess etc), ENT infection - WITH airway obstruction ( Laryngitis, Mono, Peritonsillar abscess etc) |
| Charlson/ALERT Scale: | none |
| APACHE Como Component: | none |
| APACHE Acute Component: | 2019-0: Respiratory NOS, 2019-0: Respiratory Infection |
| Start Date: | |
| Stop Date: | |
| External ICD10 Documentation | |
This diagnosis is a part of ICD10 collection.
Additional Info
- Includes
- croup
- tracheitis
- Does not include
- tracheobronchitis - code Lower respiratory tract infection, acute infectious - the distinction between classifying a tracheitis as upper respiratory track vs. lower respiratory tract is whether or not the bronchi are also involved.
- the nose - code Disorder of nose and/or sinuses, infectious or noninfectious NOS
- The could be confusion about what is "upper" vs. "lower" respiratory.
- Remember from top to bottom, the anatomy is: oropharynx --> larynx --> trachea --> main carina --> bronchi --> smaller bronchi and then bronchioles --> alveoli.
- For ICD10 coding, the answer is anything above and including the main carina at the bottom of the trachea is "upper" and everything below that is "lower". So, while a pure tracheitis or laryngitis is upper, a tracheobronchitis includes part of lower airway and thus is categorized as lower
- 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.
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.
