Toxic effect of carbon disulfide, undetermined, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health problem or residual effect resulting from an exposure to carbon disulfide, where the intent of the exposure (e.g., accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) cannot be determined. These sequelae can manifest as neurological, cardiovascular, or psychiatric disorders, among others, that persist after the acute phase of toxicity.

Apply this code when documenting chronic conditions or permanent damage directly attributable to carbon disulfide poisoning, and the medical record does not specify whether the exposure was accidental, intentional, or due to assault. This is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing the ongoing management of these lasting health issues.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela (e.g., peripheral neuropathy, Parkinsonism).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past carbon disulfide exposure.
• Only use the "S" seventh character for conditions that are true sequelae, not acute or subacute effects.
