Toxic effect of aflatoxin, intentional self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term health consequence resulting from a deliberate act of self-poisoning with aflatoxin. The patient has recovered from the acute toxic effects but now presents with a chronic condition or complication directly attributable to the past intentional exposure.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current medical condition that is a direct sequela of a previous intentional self-harm event involving aflatoxin. This would be used after the acute phase of the poisoning has resolved, and the patient is being treated for the lasting effects. Examples include chronic liver damage or other organ dysfunction caused by the past aflatoxin ingestion.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic liver failure).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional aflatoxin exposure.
• This code is for sequela only; do not use for acute poisoning events.
