Poisoning by oth bacterial vaccines, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or residual effect resulting from a patient's deliberate self-administration of an excessive or harmful dose of a bacterial vaccine. This poisoning was an intentional act to cause self-harm, and the sequela represents the lasting health issues directly attributable to that event.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic condition, disability, or other persistent health problem that is a direct consequence of a past intentional self-poisoning with a bacterial vaccine. This would be used in follow-up encounters after the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved, but the patient continues to experience related medical issues.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., specific organ damage).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional self-harm event involving a bacterial vaccine.
• Do not use for acute poisoning; this code is exclusively for the long-term effects.
