Poisoning by unsp systemic antibiotic, assault, subs encntr

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse effects or toxicity due to the intentional misuse or overdose of an unidentified systemic antibiotic, where the intent was to cause harm. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that this is not the initial treatment for the poisoning, but rather a follow-up visit for ongoing management or complications.

This code is appropriate for documenting follow-up care for a patient who was intentionally poisoned by an unknown systemic antibiotic. This could include visits for monitoring organ function, managing persistent symptoms, or addressing long-term complications arising from the initial assault. It is used after the acute phase of treatment has concluded.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "assault" as the intent and "subsequent encounter" for the visit type.
• Only use when the specific antibiotic is not identified in the medical record.
• Always sequence this code after any codes for the specific manifestations or complications of the poisoning.
