ICD-10 code R78. 81 for Bacteremia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
What is Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia? SAB is a type of infection often associated with healthcare. It occurs when Staphylococcus aureus bacteria ('Golden staph') cause an infection of the bloodstream (bacteraemia).
ICD-10-CM Code for Methicillin susceptible Staphylococcus aureus infection as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere B95. 61.

INTRODUCTION Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of community-acquired and hospital-acquired bacteremia. Patients with S. aureus bacteremia can develop a broad array of complications that may be difficult to recognize initially and can increase morbidity.
Bacteremia, in the strictest sense, refers to viable bacteria in the blood. Asymptomatic bacteremia can occur in normal daily activities such as conducting oral hygiene and after minor medical procedures. In a healthy person, these clinically benign infections are transient and cause no further sequelae.
MSSA Bacteremia occurs when the MSSA bacteria enter your bloodstream. This is a serious infection that has a high risk of complications and death. Once it's in the bloodstream, the infection often spreads to other organs and tissues within the body such as the heart, lungs, or brain.
Those that are sensitive to meticillin are termed meticillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). MRSA and MSSA only differ in their degree of antibiotic resistance: other than that there is no real difference between them. Having MSSA on your skin doesn't cause any symptoms and doesn't make you ill.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a cause of staph infection that is difficult to treat because of resistance to some antibiotics. Staph infections—including those caused by MRSA—can spread in hospitals, other healthcare facilities, and in the community where you live, work, and go to school.
What's the diagnosis in ICD-9? Bacteremia – Code 790.7 (Bacteremia); use an additional code to identify causative organism (041. x, Bacterial infection in conditions classified elsewhere and of unspecified site). Septicemia – Choose a code from 038.
Bacteremia is the presence of bacteria in the blood, hence a microbiological finding. Sepsis is a clinical diagnosis needing further specification regarding focus of infection and etiologic pathogen, whereupon clinicians, epidemiologists and microbiologists apply different definitions and terminology.
