Adverse effect of antifungal antibiotics, sys used, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or residual condition resulting from a past adverse reaction to an antifungal medication administered systemically (e.g., orally, intravenously). It indicates that the patient is experiencing a lasting health problem directly attributable to a previous systemic antifungal adverse effect, rather than the acute event itself.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic or permanent sequela of a systemic antifungal adverse effect, such as persistent liver damage, chronic kidney disease, or permanent neurological deficits that developed after the initial adverse reaction. This code is appropriate when the acute adverse effect has resolved, but its lasting consequences remain.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela (e.g., K76.0 for fatty liver, not elsewhere classified).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current sequela to a previously experienced adverse effect from a systemically administered antifungal.
• Do not use this code for acute adverse effects; instead, use the appropriate T36.7X5A or T36.7X5D codes for initial or subsequent encounters.
