MRSA. Also called: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus . MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It causes a staph infection (pronounced "staff infection") that is resistant to several common antibiotics. There are two types of infection. Hospital-associated MRSA happens to people in health care settings.
Infection control is key to stopping MRSA in hospitals. To prevent community-associated MRSA
Pneumonia is an infection in one or both of the lungs. It causes the air sacs of the lungs to fill up with fluid or pus. It can range from mild to severe, depending on the type of germ causing the infection, your age, and your overall health.
Feel suddenly worse after a cold or the flu. Your doctor will use your medical history, a physical exam, and lab tests to diagnose pneumonia. Treatment depends on what kind you have. If bacteria are the cause, antibiotics should help.

Older adults and people who have serious illnesses or weak immune systems may have fewer and milder symptoms. They may even have a lower than normal temperature. Older adults who have pneumonia sometimes have sudden changes in mental awareness.
Bacteria are the most common cause . Bacterial pneumonia can occur on its own. It can also develop after you've had certain viral infections such as a cold or the flu. Several different types of bacteria can cause pneumonia, including
Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, fevers, chills, chest pain, headache, sweating, and weakness. Inflammation of any part, segment or lobe, of the lung parenchyma. Inflammation of the lungs with consolidation and exudation. Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung, usually caused by an infection.
pneumonia due to solids and liquids ( J69.-) aspiration pneumonia due to solids and liquids ( J69.-) neonatal aspiration pneumonia ( P24.-) (noo-mone-ya) an inflammatory infection that occurs in the lung. A disorder characterized by inflammation focally or diffusely affecting the lung parenchyma.
You can also get pneumonia by accidentally inhaling a liquid or chemical. People most at risk are older than 65 or younger than 2 years of age, or already have health problems. If you have pneumonia, you may have difficulty breathing and have a cough and a fever. A physical exam and history can help determine if you have pneumonia. Chest x-rays and blood tests can help determine what is wrong. Treatment depends on what made you sick. If bacteria are the cause, antibiotics should help. Viral pneumonia may get better with rest and drinking liquids.preventing pneumonia is always better than treating it. The best preventive measures include washing your hands frequently, not smoking, and wearing a mask when cleaning dusty or moldy areas. There is a vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia, a bacterial infection which accounts for up to a quarter of all pneumonias.

B95.62 Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. The infection site is known, and reported secondarily (e.g., skin of the groin). One of these two codes usually is the first-listed code when a patient is treated for an MRSA infection.
There are instances, however, when Z16.11 for staph infections is appropriate. When a newborn or neonate has MRSA pneumonia or MRSA sepsis, for example, the P code captures the staphylococcal infection, but not the penicillin resistance. P36.39 Sepsis of newborn due to other staphylococci.
Only one code is needed for sepsis; additional codes are reported to capture severe sepsis and accompanying organ failure.
MRSA lurks on the skin and in the nasal cavities of many people, increasing the risk of infection for the colonized persons and those around them. A person who has been “colonized” has MRSA present, without necessarily having an active MRSA infection.
Never Report Z16.11 with the Four MRSA Codes. To do so would be redundant. Z16.11 Resistance to penicillins [Methicillin is a form of penicillin.] Many conditions require you to report MRSA with B95.62, and a second code to identify the site/type of infection, such as the skin site or specific heart valve.
A patient may have MRSA colonization and an active MRSA infection, in which case, code both conditions. Report this code anytime a true screening is performed, as for hospital admission or when a skin or other accessible infection site is suspect.
