Poisoning by antiviral drugs, assault, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health consequence or complication arising from a poisoning event involving antiviral medications, where the poisoning was intentionally inflicted by another person. It indicates that the acute phase of the poisoning has passed, and the patient is now experiencing residual effects.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with chronic or persistent health issues directly attributable to a past assault involving antiviral drug poisoning. This would be used for follow-up care or management of these lasting sequelae, not for the initial acute poisoning event.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela(e) being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past assault by antiviral drugs.
• Do not use this code for acute poisoning; it is exclusively for sequelae.
