Poisoning by antifungal antibiot, sys used, self-harm, init

This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse effects resulting from the deliberate ingestion or administration of antifungal medications intended for systemic use, with the explicit intent of self-harm. The patient is in the initial phase of treatment for this poisoning event.

This code is appropriate for emergency department visits or initial inpatient admissions where a patient has intentionally overdosed on systemic antifungal antibiotics. It applies when the primary reason for the encounter is the management of the acute poisoning and its immediate complications.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "intentional self-harm" and specifies a systemic antifungal antibiotic as the substance.
• Always assign an additional code for the specific antifungal antibiotic involved, if known, from categories T36.7X1-T36.7X4.
• Remember to also code any associated physical or mental health conditions resulting from the poisoning or contributing to the self-harm attempt.
