Poisoning by aminoglycosides, assault, subsequent encounter

This code signifies a harmful effect from aminoglycoside medication due to an intentional act of assault, where the patient is receiving follow-up care for the poisoning. It indicates that the initial injury or acute phase of the poisoning has passed, and the patient is now being treated for lingering effects or complications.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent encounters for a patient who has experienced poisoning from aminoglycosides as a result of an assault. This includes visits for monitoring renal function, managing ototoxicity, or addressing other long-term sequelae of the poisoning. It is used after the initial emergency treatment has been rendered.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis for the specific manifestation of the poisoning (e.g., acute kidney failure).
• Ensure documentation clearly supports that the poisoning was due to an assault and that this is a subsequent encounter.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for accidental or self-harm poisonings.
