Poisoning by chloramphenicol group, assault, subs encntr

This code indicates a poisoning event resulting from the intentional administration of a chloramphenicol-group antibiotic with the intent to harm, occurring during the recovery phase or follow-up care. The patient is experiencing ongoing effects or complications from the initial assault.

Use this code when documenting subsequent care for a patient who was poisoned by chloramphenicol as a result of an assault. This applies to follow-up visits, medication adjustments, or management of lingering symptoms related to the initial toxic exposure.

• Requires an additional code for the specific adverse effect or manifestation of the poisoning.
• Distinguish from accidental poisoning (T36.2X1-) or intentional self-harm (T36.2X2-).
• Ensure documentation clearly supports the "subsequent encounter" and "assault" nature of the poisoning.
