Poisoning by antifungal antibiot, sys used, assault, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health problem or complication resulting from a deliberate act of poisoning with an antifungal antibiotic administered systemically. This indicates that the antifungal medication was intentionally given to the patient with malicious intent, leading to lasting adverse effects.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic condition or permanent injury that is a direct consequence of an antifungal antibiotic poisoning where the poisoning was determined to be an assault. This would be used in follow-up encounters for patients experiencing persistent sequelae from such an event.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela (e.g., kidney failure, liver damage).
• Ensure documentation clearly states the poisoning was an assault and identifies the specific antifungal antibiotic involved.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; this code is exclusively for sequelae.
