Poisoning by oth antiprotozoal drugs, undetermined, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or residual effect resulting from an undetermined poisoning by antiprotozoal medications other than those specifically classified elsewhere. It indicates that the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, but the patient continues to experience health issues directly attributable to the past exposure.

Apply this code when documenting chronic conditions, disabilities, or persistent symptoms that are a direct consequence of a previous antiprotozoal drug poisoning where the intent (accidental, intentional self-harm, assault) could not be determined. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these lasting effects, even if the original poisoning event occurred months or years prior.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past undetermined antiprotozoal poisoning.
• Do not use for acute poisoning events; instead, refer to the appropriate acute poisoning codes.
