Poisoning by rifampicins, assault, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health condition or complication resulting from a previous poisoning by rifampicin, where the poisoning was intentionally inflicted by another person. It indicates that the patient is experiencing residual effects directly attributable to a past assault involving this specific antibiotic.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current health status that is a direct consequence of a prior rifampicin poisoning due to an assault. This would be used for follow-up encounters addressing chronic issues, organ damage, or other lasting sequelae stemming from the original toxic exposure.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., liver damage, neurological deficits).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past rifampicin poisoning and specifies the assault as the intent.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute poisoning event; it is exclusively for sequelae.
