The word Pseudomonas means "false unit", from the Greek pseudēs ( Greek: ψευδής, false) and ( Latin: monas, from Greek: μονάς, a single unit). The stem word mon was used early in the history of microbiology to refer to germs, e.g., kingdom Monera.
The ICD-10-CM code J15.1 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like bronchopneumonia due to pseudomonas or pneumonia due to pseudomonas. Index to Diseases and Injuries The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code(s).
Pseudomonas infections can occur when the immune system is already weakened. Germs that live in soil and water can cause Pseudomonas infections. You can get these infections in different parts of your body. The most common type that humans get is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The germs may live in pools, hot tubs, and dirty contact lenses.

Pseudomonas (aeruginosa) (mallei) (pseudomallei) as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. B96. 5 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a leading nosocomial pathogen, may become multidrug resistant (MDR). Its rate of occurrence, the individual risk factors among affected patients, and the clinical impact of infection are undetermined.

Pseudomonas pneumonia, pulmonary infection with the gram-negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is mostly a hospital-acquired pneumonia. Although not the most common, it is the deadliest form of nosocomial pulmonary infection, accounting for about 20% of cases in the intensive care unit (ICU).
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 .
aeruginosa infections include bloodstream infections, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and surgical wound infections. These infections typically affect people who are ill in the hospital, particularly those with weakened immune systems from diseases or long-term treatments.

Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality in burn patients. One of the major causes of sepsis in burn patients is Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Septicemia – There is NO code for septicemia in ICD-10. Instead, you're directed to a combination 'A' code for sepsis to indicate the underlying infection, such A41. 9 (Sepsis, unspecified organism) for septicemia with no further detail.
041.7 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of pseudomonas infection in conditions classified elsewhere and of unspecified site. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate. Includes Notes - This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.
Type 1 Excludes Notes - A type 1 Excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
Code also note - A "code also" note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction.
NOS "Not otherwise specified" - This abbreviation is the equivalent of unspecified.
