ICD Codes are listed on subsequent page(s) of this document. 85651, 85652 Sedimentation Rate, Erythrocyte Coverage Indications, Limitations, and/or Medical Necessity The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a sensitive but nonspecific test that is frequently the earliest indicator of disease when other chemical or physical signs are normal.

During the exam, your provider examines any skin sores or reddened areas you may have. Your provider can also review any other symptoms. Collect a sample for testing. Most often, providers diagnose staph infections by checking blood, urine, skin, infected material or nasal secretions for signs of the bacteria.
The key difference between epidermidis and aureus is that Staphylococcus epidermidis is a non-haemolytic bacterium while Staphylococcus aureus is a haemolytic bacterium. Epidermidis and aureus are species names of two bacteria in the bacterial genus Staphylococcus.
Staphylococcus epidermidis can cause wound infections, boils, sinus infections, endocarditis and other inflammations. The bacterium can reside for a long period of time in "hiding places" in the body, where it is not noticed by the immune system, and therefore also not fought.

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.
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.
