Poisoning by oth antiprotozoal drugs, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or residual effect stemming from an intentional overdose or self-poisoning with an antiprotozoal medication. It indicates that the acute poisoning event has passed, but the patient is still experiencing health problems directly attributable to that past event.

This code is appropriate when documenting chronic organ damage, neurological deficits, or other persistent health issues that are a direct result of a previous intentional antiprotozoal drug overdose. It should be used for follow-up encounters where the sequela, not the acute poisoning, is the primary focus of treatment.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic liver failure, peripheral neuropathy).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past intentional antiprotozoal poisoning.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute poisoning event; use the acute poisoning code with the appropriate seventh character for initial encounter.
