Poisn by cephalospor/oth beta-lactm antibiot, asslt, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a poisoning event involving cephalosporin or other beta-lactam antibiotics. The poisoning was intentionally inflicted by another person with the intent to harm. The sequela could be any lasting physical or psychological effect directly attributable to the initial poisoning.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic or residual effect from a past poisoning by cephalosporin or beta-lactam antibiotics, where the original poisoning was an assault. This would be used on subsequent encounters after the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved, and the patient is being treated for the lingering consequences.

• Always sequence the code for the specific sequela first, followed by this external cause code.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past antibiotic poisoning and specifies the assault intent.
• This code is for sequelae only; do not use for acute poisoning events.
