Poisoning by tetracyclines, assault, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or ongoing treatment after experiencing poisoning due to tetracycline antibiotics, where the poisoning was intentionally inflicted by another person. It indicates that the initial acute phase of the poisoning has passed, and the patient is now receiving care for residual effects or complications.

Use this code when documenting subsequent encounters for patients who were victims of an assault involving tetracycline poisoning. This includes visits for monitoring organ function, managing long-term side effects, or addressing psychological impacts related to the assault. It should not be used for the initial acute presentation of the poisoning.

• Always sequence this code after any codes for specific manifestations or complications of the poisoning.
• Ensure documentation clearly supports the "assault" intent and the "subsequent encounter" status.
• Do not use this code for accidental poisoning or self-harm; different intent codes apply.
