Poisoning by other antiprotozoal drugs, assault, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from an intentional overdose or harmful exposure to antiprotozoal medications, inflicted by another person. The patient is experiencing persistent effects directly attributable to this past assault.

Assign this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic illness, organ damage, or other lasting sequelae directly linked to a confirmed antiprotozoal drug poisoning that occurred as an act of assault. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these ongoing complications, not the initial acute poisoning event.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic kidney disease, neurological damage).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past antiprotozoal drug poisoning by assault.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates sequela and should be used for conditions arising from the initial injury or poisoning.
