Wound Wound ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index is designed to allow medical coders to look up various medical terms and connect them with the appropriate ICD codes. There are 143 terms under the parent term 'Wound' in the ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index.
Elinor L Baron, MD, DTMH. Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CoNS). Like other CoNS, S. lugdunensis in humans ranges from a harmless skin commensal to a life-threatening pathogen (as with infective endocarditis).

Staph infections are caused by staphylococcus bacteria. These types of germs are commonly found on the skin or in the nose of many healthy people. Most of the time, these bacteria cause no problems or cause relatively minor skin infections.
6 for Staphylococcus aureus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain infectious and parasitic diseases .

2. A non-healing wound, such as an ulcer, is not coded with an injury code beginning with the letter S. Four common codes are L97-, “non-pressure ulcers”; L89-, “pressure ulcers”; I83-, “varicose veins with ulcers”; and I70.
Wound dehiscence is a surgery complication where the incision, a cut made during a surgical procedure, reopens. It is sometimes called wound breakdown, wound disruption, or wound separation. Partial dehiscence means that the edges of an incision have pulled apart in one or more small areas.
code 12020 (Treatment of superficial wound dehiscence; simple closure), which has a global period of 10 days, or. code 13160 (Secondary closure of surgical wound or dehiscence; extensive or complicated), which has a 90-day global period.
Wound dehiscence under the ICD-10-CM is coded T81. 3 which exclusively pertains to disruption of a wound not elsewhere classified.
Clinical Information. Infections with bacteria of the genus staphylococcus. Infections with bacteria of the genus staphylococcus; includes staphylococcal pneumonia, staph skin infections, furunculosis, carbuncle, impetigo, ritter disease, scalded skin syndrome, etc. Staph is short for staphylococcus, a type of bacteria.
code to identify resistance to antimicrobial drugs ( Z16.-) Infections with bacteria of the genus staphylococcus. Infections with bacteria of the genus staphylococcus; includes staphylococcal pneumonia, staph skin infections, furunculosis, carbuncle, impetigo, ritter disease, scalded skin syndrome, etc.
The best way to prevent staph is to keep hands and wounds clean. Most staph skin infections are easily treated with antibiotics or by draining the infection. Some staph bacteria such as mrsa (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) are resistant to certain antibiotics, making infections harder to treat.
skin infections are the most common. They can look like pimples or boils.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM A49.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
You are more likely to get one if you have a cut or scratch, or have contact with a person or surface that has staph bacteria.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code.

lugdunensis is unique among CoNS because of its propensity for causing aggressive native valve infective endocarditis and its susceptibility to a vast array of antimicrobial agents. The microbiology, clinical features, and treatment of S. lugdunensis infections will be reviewed here.
Unlike other CoNS, however, S. lugdunensis can cause severe disease reminiscent of the virulent infections frequently attributable to Staphylococcus aureus [ 1 ]. In addition, most S. lugdunensis isolates remain susceptible to a large number of antimicrobial agents. S. lugdunensis was first described in 1988 and was distinguished ...
Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CoNS). Like other CoNS, S. lugdunensis in humans ranges from a harmless skin commensal to a life-threatening pathogen (as with infective endocarditis). Unlike other CoNS, however, S. lugdunensis can cause severe disease reminiscent of the virulent infections frequently attributable ...
S. lugdunensis was first described in 1988 and was distinguished from other coagulase-negative staphylococcal species via DNA-relatedness studies based on 11 clinical strains. The new species was named after Lyon, the French city where the organism was first isolated (Lugdunum, the Latin name of Lyon) [ 2 ].
S. lugdunensis infections in humans range from harmless skin colonization to invasive infection. The majority of infections are related to skin and soft tissue, the bloodstream, and prosthetic devices. The frequency of S. lugdunensis infection is probably underappreciated, since many clinical laboratories do not routinely speciate ...
