Poisoning by fluoroquinolone antibiotics, assault, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or complications arising from a deliberate act of poisoning with a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. The initial injury or poisoning event has already been addressed, and the patient is now receiving ongoing treatment or monitoring related to the assault.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent visits for a patient who was intentionally poisoned with a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. This includes scenarios such as managing lingering side effects, monitoring organ function, or addressing psychological sequelae after the initial acute phase of treatment for the assault.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis indicating the specific effects of the poisoning.
• Ensure documentation clearly supports the "assault" intent and "subsequent encounter" for ongoing care.
• Do not use for accidental poisoning or adverse effects of properly administered medication.
