Contact with nonvenomous frogs, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late effect resulting from a past encounter with a nonvenomous frog. It indicates that a previous injury or adverse health condition, directly attributable to contact with such an animal, is now manifesting with residual symptoms or complications.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current health issue that is a direct consequence of a prior incident involving a nonvenomous frog. Examples include chronic skin irritation from a past allergic reaction to frog secretions, or a persistent infection from a wound sustained during the encounter, after the initial acute phase has passed.

• Always sequence this code after the code describing the specific sequela (e.g., chronic dermatitis, scar formation).
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to a past nonvenomous frog encounter.
• Do not use for acute injuries or immediate reactions; those require codes from the initial encounter category.
