Poisoning by antimycobacterial drugs, assault, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a deliberate act of poisoning with antimycobacterial drugs. This means the patient is experiencing residual effects from a past event where someone intentionally administered these medications to cause harm.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic or residual health issues directly attributable to a prior assault involving antimycobacterial drug poisoning. This is used for follow-up encounters after the acute poisoning has been treated, and the patient is now managing ongoing sequelae.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) identifying the specific sequela(e) being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past assault involving antimycobacterial drugs.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; this code is exclusively for sequelae.
