Poisn by antimalari/drugs acting on bld protzoa, acc, init

This code signifies an accidental overdose or adverse reaction to medications used to treat malaria or other blood protozoal infections. It indicates that the patient's poisoning was unintentional and they are presenting for the initial treatment of this event.

Apply this code when a patient presents to an emergency department or clinic with symptoms of poisoning after inadvertently taking too much antimalarial medication, or if they had an unexpected adverse reaction to a prescribed dose. This includes situations where a child accidentally ingests these drugs.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the poisoning was accidental or unintentional.
• Confirm this is the first encounter for this specific poisoning event.
• Do not use for intentional self-harm or assault; those require different T codes.
