Poisoning by antifungal antibiotics, sys used, assault, init

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse effects resulting from the intentional administration of antifungal antibiotics, intended to cause harm to the patient. The systemic nature indicates the medication was absorbed throughout the body, rather than applied topically. This specific code is used for the initial phase of treatment for such an event.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a patient has been poisoned by a systemically administered antifungal antibiotic due to an assault. This would include situations where a patient was forcibly given or tricked into taking a harmful dose of these medications by another individual. It is appropriate for the first encounter related to this poisoning.

• Always ensure the documentation explicitly states "assault" as the intent for the poisoning.
• Verify the antifungal antibiotic was administered systemically (e.g., oral, IV) and not topically.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the poisoning; subsequent care would use a different encounter character.
